I loved these boots at first sight. They fit great, broke in fast and the removable insole is comfortable all day long. I ride in them, dance in them, and take it easy in them. The shaft leather is really soft though, and slouches a lot once broken in. The only thing I don't love is how wide they are at the top-- they're fine under a boot-cut jean, but a little wide for my wrangler 13's- have to keep tugging them down to stack right. still love em though.
