I am in a financial pinch and sought out some cheap costume boots. I make chainmaille armor and needed black boots for my black stainless steel armor for the Renaissance festival. These fit the aesthetic I was looking for - medieval-ish with a knight/combat appeal without looking piratey. I wear a size 10US in most cases and have wider feet. The size 10-11 fit me fairly well with a bit of extra room, but that's what you get with stretch size costume boots. The material is fairly thin; it feels like it is durable but I could easily see the outer coating wearing off within 6months to a year with occasional use. The boots didn't look quite like the photo. The distressing seemed a bit too uniform and the spats sit far lower on the toe than I expected. Overall, these will work for what I need until I have the few hundred gather for some custom made leather ones. They are costume boots; that's important to keep in mind. I am size 10 US, 5'1034; tall and 165 pounds with an average build.

I bought these for a friend of mine. He tried them on and seemed pleased but I'll know more when we have our show in August

Sizes are a bit broad and as such they are a bit big. I bought arch insoles and wore Nike padded socks and they were decent enough. I wore them for about 10 miles of walking the first day I wore them.

The boot part was too large..but we just got my fiance some motorcycle boots and use the spats over those. That looks great for our Steampunk wedding.

great for costume purposes, but can get be uncomfortable after wearing for several hours. the fit is rather generous on the inside. i kept thinking i should've worn thicker or multiple pairs of socks.

Not bad

The boot feels flimsy and WILL give you blisters fairly quickly. The boot looks good but it's nothing but a costume accessory
