Not comfortable at all

I loved the heaviness and the solid sole. The shine was good. But the first day of wearing, walked maybe 1 mile, I started to see a crease line across the bend where shoes bend and I am worried it will fall apart where the crease is. The feel is okay but the edge of the opening is still tough and hurts my ankle bone. Hopefully it will go away with wear.

I'm a police officer and I ordered these to wear for an honor guard detail at a retired officer's funeral. I figured they'd be nice to have for other formal, class A uniform, occasions in the future as well. Because they'll only be used for special occasions, I didn't want to spend a fortune. I found this pair and it really suited my budget needs. I'm normally an 8 or 8.5 in men's, depending on the shoe. I ordered an 8w, because usually the only time I need an 8.5 is because the 8 is too narrow. I found the 8w fit slightly larger than expected. If I'd had more time, I probably would've exchanged them for a 7.5w, but the 8w was certainly manageable. I was on my feet a lot for the two days of the funeral detail. I experienced some minor "breaking in" discomfort, but nothing I would dock them stars for. Due to what I used them for, I can't speak to their comfort over an extended duration. My only complaint, and the main reason I did not give them 5 stars, was because one of the boots had a couple nicks in the glossy finish when I pulled them out of the box. One was a hairline scratch, about 1 inch long, and the other was a little pinpoint size "ding". Again, if I would've had time, I probably would've returned them as damaged and asked for a new, undamaged pair. I attached photos of the damage I described.

These seem to be a solid built shoe. Its nice to pull these out of the box and not gave to polish them. I wore them for a couple of hours for interview and they were comfortabke during that time. Reason for only 3 stars is I spent an hour peeling glue off that must of been from putting the sole on. It was only on one of the shoes but litteraly took an hour using remover and carefully peeling it so not to damage the look of the shoe.

I wanted to give this 5 stars, but the sizing is off. If you are usually a size 10, do yourself a favor here and get a size 9. Sizing is weird on this shoe but its great I always get compliments on these shoes.

At first it was all good but it lasted less than 6 months

Good just tight fit
