Breaks in quickly. I was hesitant to get leather because I thought they might be heavy but I feel like there are more capable and comfortable than the Salomons I was using previously.

The leather is really nice and easy to break in. I didn't even need some days...it just feels some comfortable since the first time you try them on! You can also feel the air sole when you walk, specially when you apply some weight over your feet. I'm really picky about shoes and I found this pair of boots excellent!

I am very pleased with these boots!  The leather was so soft and so perfect, I thought it was man-made at first!  I also liked that the laces are functional because this helped me to adjust the width of the shaft to the shape of my leg and now I can just zip and unzip them.  The soles are very substantial so they seem a bit heavy at first. These are work boots, not flimsy just for fashion ones.

I usually wear a women's 8.5 U.S. everything I read said to get the 6 euro and I did. I found that to be correct. My feet are on the narrow side of average so I still have room for socks.

I like these better than the leather pair I own.  I wore them to a muddy music festival, and all I had to do was hose them off afterward.  They are extremely comfortable, and they don't feel plastic or squeak like I expected they might.

I haven't tried to wear them very much yet so it's hard for me to tell if I could wear them all day.  They are very stiff but I loosened the straps and they feel much better.  I like the look of these boots.  Would recommend them.

I thought the shoes might be too matronly but they actually were nice .

After looking at several Driver mockies i decided to give these ones a go. When i got them I measured them against my feet and thought "this should be interesting!". I really didn't think they were going to fit as they seemed really small and tight but i persevered and after about 5 minutes i got them on. now given the time it took to "slip on" the not so slip ons I thought they would be uncomfortable and tight but NO quite the opposite. once i got these bad boys on they were very comfortable feeling like another layer of skin. Being leather i would expect they will loosen in time and I sure as hell cant wear socks with them but then that's not what mockies are for. Next time though I may go a size or two up

I got these in black and I am going to get them in brown. I didn't need steel toed boots but when I tried them on they were so comfortable compared to the other boots I tried on that I got them anyway.  So glad I did. I have had these for over a year now and while I don't wear them as much in the summer unless it is raining while wearing jeans,etc..I can't tell any wear on them.  I can wear them all day without any chafing on my legs as some people have said and I wear regular socks with them unless it is really cold.  I especially like the waterproof feature when it is raining or snowing.

I have heavy calves, so they did feel slightly snug. But the quality and comfort out weigh the snug fit

I bought these boots after reading the great reviews on them. This was my first pair of work boots, otherwise I always wore athletic running shoes which would burn out in 2-3 months. My job requires me to be on my feet all day, shovel ground, wheel wheel-barrows around and these have been awesome for me, the added weight is easily justified (hardly noticeable anyway but still heavier) with a much more stable platform for standing, and power for stomping my shovel. These boots feel GREAT for my feet AND my back, they feel like it makes my spine align how it should vs. my old worn out shoes. Bottom line: If you're in the market for great work boots and can afford the little extra that these boots cost you will be more than satisfied.

Aside from the functional aspect, I am amazed at the comfort.

I ordered these in the black tumbled full grain leather, and was rather shocked at how pebbly and rough the leather felt. I read the other reviews and thought it would still feel like nice leather, but (even though these smelled divine) the leather is the reason for my return. I have nerve pain on my left arch and can't bear shoes pressing down on the top of that foot. I found the Frye Veronica shorties this winter in the soft vintage leather and adore them! It took me a day to mold those with a shoe insert and a wadded up sock wedged above it to raise that leather area so it wouldn't press on the nerve. ONE DAY!! The leather of the soft vintage is amazing and soft; the tumbled full grain is really rough and super stiff - and there are really rough areas inside at the heel that tore up my heel after very little time, too. I don't think these would have ever become as comfortable as the others (which had a break-in period; just not a bad one). It really does make a difference which leather will work for your needs. I am a little unsure of how well the soft vintage leather will hold up when I finally cough up the money for them in talls (the tumbled full grains were ridiculously on sale - likely because of the leather issues) but that's my plan.

I was prepared to be about as disappointed by these as I have been by other ~$20 shoes and boots on Amazon (by other brands) that feel like the heels will collapse if I take more than a few tip-toeing steps. However, these are actually INCREDIBLY comfortable, seem pretty sturdily made especially considering the price, and after a few cautious tries-on around the house I decided these felt like they bore my weight well enough to trust wearing for a day of a few small errands. I walked almost a mile and a half in these today, wearing them as they come, without the medical orthotics I've been prescribed for my messed up arches, and yet these felt really great to walk in, enough so that I didn't even notice that it added up to as much as it did. I also have incredibly sensitive tops of my feet, and I don't even have any soreness there after wearing these, which is very hard for me to find in a stiff and cozy-fit shoe like this, that isn't a padded skate shoe. I also got a compliment on them from a stranger (plus two from my own family if you count that), the very first day wearing them out!

The inside lining is a fleece-y type fabric very similar to fleece-lined leggings, that is a bit much for me in anything over about 65 degrees, but I personally am very prone to overheating; they would probably be just about perfect for anyone who likes or needs a bit more warmth to their feet and lower part of the legs, or just as a good dry-cold weather shoe. I live in the PNW though so I will be giving these a good waterproofing spray treatment before wearing them out in wet weather, just to be safe. They do feel sturdy, but if you've found a $20 shoe that can truly withstand an accidental trod through a curb-depth puddle, you've slipped into an alternate dimension, and I don't want to use these to test which I might be in!

I also want to emphasize that these are a very cozy fit. I did have the laces tied snug but the foot part itself was just perfect, not loose at all but I also never had any issues feeling cramped or pinched in them or having any spots that rubbed wrong, which anyone who shares my size or flat arches will know, is remarkably difficult especially in an 11. The fuzzy lining probably helps. Overall, the phrase "fits like a glove" couldn't be more accurate.

To anyone who is looking to these for cosplay, I officially say go for it. I will most definitely be coming back for the brown ones in this same tall style for Katniss, as they are a PERFECT fit for hers, and when the short style is back in stock in my size, those in black for a slightly modified Chloe Price, too.

I didn't expect it to feel so soft because i own another which i think have a more leather feel.  I hope like the one that own prior that it last.

I was hesitant to purchase these boots because I have another pair of Timberland hiking boots that are extremely rigid and uncomfortable. I took the risk because I liked the look of the shoe, all of the features it comes with, and reviews were mostly positive. I'm happy to be able to add to those positive reviews, no regrets about this purchase whatsoever.

I work in operations at a theme park so I needed safety certified shoes but it was also important for the boots to be comfortable, water-resistant, and cute. Here are my observations so far:

Water Resistance: Since Florida weather is just as stormy as it is sunshiny I was looking for something that would protect my feet from rain puddles. I've had to walk around all day in shoes that just retained water, and it was AWFUL. With these shoes I'm not concerned about having water logged feet at all. In order to break them in faster I stood in a bathtub of hot water for five minutes. The water was only able to penetrate my boots when it got up to where the laces start. At that point water did fill my shoes and pooled around my toes. Afterwards I walked around and within ten minutes my feet felt dry again. The only moisture in my shoes is the water that my socks are still holding onto. It's a miracle.

Slip Resistance: Tried to slide my feet over chemicals dropped on smooth tile and there wasn't any give. The boots are indeed slip resistant.

Comfort/Longevity: I walk anywhere from 10-30 miles during my shift, some if it over cobblestone paths which would send shooting pains up my shins in my old shoes. These shoes have a thick rubber heel which absorb most of the shock of walking on uneven terrain. The sole itself is not cushioned. When I put the boots on for the first time I was wearing thin socks so the soles felt like they might be uncomfortable after a while. Now that they are broken in, and with moderate thickness athletic-type socks, they are the most comfortable shoes I have. Even after 18 miles in them at work, I am not desperate to take them off when I get in the car.

Fit: I was nervous about this since I've never ordered shoes online. My other Timbs are 5.5 in boy's sizes, so I ordered the 7.5 wide since I know Timberlands run narrow. When I first put the shoes on they felt roomy, maybe a little too roomy. After I laced them up properly and wore slightly thicker socks they were PERFECT. Formed right around my feet. I wouldn't say they are true to size since I'm normally an 8 regular.

Steel toe: Can't say I've dropped anything on my feet yet but I do kick sticky doors that won't open without hurting my toes. I can't even have tell they have steel toes because they are so comfortable, but they are definitely there and I'll trust these shoes to protect my feet if anything drops.

Style: The reason I ultimately went with these shoes and not another pair advertised as waterproof came down to the style. These are cute and versatile. They don't look wonky with my uniform and they're also pretty fashionable with some of my regular clothes so I don't have to wear them just for work. They're somewhat chunky, that was the look I was going for, but they're not bulky.

Other pros: It's a hundred degrees out right now and my toes aren't roasting, so that's a great thing. They're hefty but they don't feel heavy. Apparently there's some protection against electrical shock built into the bottom of the shoe. I'm not walking over circuits so I don't mind but maybe it will help me not get struck by lightning, haha.

If I had to find a con I would say that the leather around the opening of the shoe feels too rigid but I can tell they will break in fast. In summary, I would absolutely recommend these and plan to buy them again when this pair wears out.

Huge fan of the Salomon! I'm glad the color is darker than what was display on site.

When I first put them on I didn't like the way they felt but then I started walking around in them and next thing I knew the day had past and my feet still felt pretty good!
