text: First time I put on the boots the pull-on strap ripped off. Two weeks later, the other boot strap ripped. The upper material seems overly large for an ankle and doesn't secure tightly. The leather is good and they look good. The rest is as it should be.<br /><br />I wanted to like these. I have other docs that I love, but this model has problems. I should have returned it for a refund.
