text: Overall, I was a bit disappointed by these boots. The overall look was very good, they are just as pictured with the multi-tone grey and teal accents. They seemed very solid and sturdy. When I put the show on however there was a major design flaw. The back portion that hit the upper back portion of your ankle is very rigid. It didn't give in any way and was very uncomfortable against that area,so much so that I didn't continue to try the other pair on. I ended up returning these not only from the discomfort of the wear but also damage to the sole on the back side of the heel. It was already separating from the main part of the boot.
