text: I just had to leave a review after receiving these boots.  First -- (and this part is my fault) I was head-in-the clouds when I ordered, and jumped from Amazon to Ebay without paying attention. Paid $5 too much on Ebay and a return would cost me $40 including restocking and postage, which would have been free on Amazon.  So if you buy these, do stay with Amazon,  Now, the reason for my 2 stars: These are the most uncomfortable boots I've ever purchased, and I have quite a wardrobe of western boots.  These are my first Laredo's, and they are about equal in price to the average boot I buy.  The foot bed curves just enough to pinch my toes on the sides.  They appear wider than my other pointed toe boots, but they sure aren't.  The leather is so heavy and stiff (good for durability but not good for stretching) that it will take some doing if they even can be made comfortable. I think the problem is more the foot bed than the outer leather so they may never feel good. The heel is a little loose and the length is fine, so I'm not sure a bigger boot would have been a good idea. I always wear an 8. The other problem that creates pain is a dent in the stiff leather on one boot which digs into my ankle bone. That can  happen with the heavier leathers, I know.  I have them in stretcher shoe-horns right now, and I will have to wrap my ankle to wear them, which I'll eventually try when I don't have to be on my feet all day.  The 2 stars is because they are super cute, and it was the colors that drew me in.  Wouldn't wear them for work boots even though they appear to be tough enough for that.  Note that they have thick ankles, which I don't expect in a &#34;dressy&#34; western boot. Not particularly attractive.  As for the colors:  the tan leather is on the yellow side.  That's ok, though not my favorite.  The teal is perfect and the red is true red.
