Great Buy - These boots are excellent - extremely comfortable. The leather is very soft and as a result the shoe fits like a glove without being tight or pinching anywhere. Looks really good too and goes with jeans or with a slightly more than casual look. Also very comfortable for walking around NY in.

Great looking boot! Very pleased with the look. I've gotten many compliments. They are dress boots so don't ride your motorcycle with them like I did. They're not sturdy enough.

Bootsy - A nice casual, comfortable Italian boot. Great with jeans.

Looked great on the site, not as nice in person. The ankle has no support, it is just soft suede that folds over. The suede just does not look all that well made, even compared to other Type Z boots. The left boot was a good bit tighter than the right. Pretty good feel in the toes, but loose in the heel.

Okay boots - This is an alright boot, it really depends on what you're looking for. I agree with the previous reviews in that they really do look like cowboy boots (which may be your thing) and that they are not very comfortable. They are narrow and should have half sizes. I usually wear a 10 1/2 or 11 and opted for the 10s (43 Euro) and they were bordering on too small. A 1/2 size bigger would have been perfect, a whole size too much. I opted for the Type Z Calvin boot and am thrilled with it. They're cheaper and look way better. The leather on the Raman boots says it's antiqued, but looks way shiny. The Calvins are truly antiqued and REALLY look fantastic with jeans. Also, I got the size 43 (10 US) and they're more like a 10 1/2 to 10 ¾. Perfect and super-comfortable.

Need half sizes - The boots look great and feel very comfortable. They have a dressy look. My only complaint is they don't come in 1/2 sizes for a better fit.

Meh - Returning these for something else. Not a bad boot, but they look more "country/western" in person than what the pictures seem. Also, they fit a little larger than what I'd thought.

These are narrow boots - Overall, these shoes look good, but are a little deceptive. The width of the boots is a little small. Having a half size would make this better, but is not an option. The leather is nice and as described, but the uppers are very thin and flimsy. The boot does not support itself as appears in the picture. In fact, the leather seems a little cheap at the uppers. This boot could be better made for the money.

Not a great fit - The boot felt very tight in the forefoot and super loose in the heel.
