I broke them in in about a week. I really like the design and style. The hardware is solid and the leather is good quality, Expect to break them in as you have to for all leather boots to mold to your body. But once they do they're fairly awesome,

I wear them a few times a week. They're def my new favorite combat boots.

The ankle/arch area on these boots is huge and the buckle doesn't provide enough adjustment. I wanted them to fit but even adding a shoe insert and thick socks didn't help my foot from lifting an inch inside the boot. Only good for those with tall feet or thick ankles.

Definitely are cool looking. made well too. I ordered the 10 and Id say they run true to size.
