text: Honestly, I was really excited for these boots and am somewhat disappointed. I ordered the leather ones and they are rather poor quality leather that is not tanned or dyed but painted!  What's more, the left boot came with a crease in the front bell where the paint stuck together. Pulling it apart left a blemish on the paint and removing the crease has proved difficult. I may return these but am not sure if it is worth the time.
