text: These shoes look good, however the leather quality is poor and they are hard, not soft or supple. The edges of these shoes around the ankle has the tendency to rub and where they rest on the top of my arch gapes. I am not impressed with the feel and quality of these shoes and would not recommend them to anyone. This is the first negative review I have written and I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon...don't waste your money...choose another pair of boots!!!!
