These boots are so cool! The style is very retro. I had read other reviews that didn't think the straps were very stable, but I disagree! I love the way the straps wrap and the leather is very soft yet it has enough firm hold not to let my heel slip. Felt very subtle compared to laces. I did buy mine from another online shop because here at Zappos, my fav by far, didn't carry them up to size 11. I would state also that the buckles aren't sewn close enough so as to prevent them from slipping out of the hole when unlaced. Should have been sewn closer, would expect this for the price. Overall will try to alleviate the problem myself. Good quality boot, that will indeed last forever.
Brands I'd also recommend: Frye, Lucchese, Fluevog

I so wanted to love this boot. It looks really cool in the picture, and actually, it looks cool on, too. However, the top part of the leather is so soft, which you would not think would b e a problem. But the straps are made of such soft leather as to be unsupportive. I could not tighten the strap enough to get it to feel like I was not going to walk out of the boot. Part of the problem is likely because I ordered my regular size and it truly felt a whole size too big. If I had a snugger size, perhaps they would not feel so sloppy. The sole of the boot is comfortable, with decent arch support. If it were not such an expensive boot, I might have ordered a smaller size and improvised, but for this price, I really had to love it and have it work from the start.

Love the boots. They are comfortable right out of the box and they look great. The only complaint/issue I have with the boots has been mentioned by others - the straps could be sturdier, but I will replace them if needed and that issue certainly would not make me send these boots back.

Love this boot, it's retro cool, comfortable right out of the box and goes with everything. I found them to be true to size and had no problem at all with the straps or the leather like some of the other reviewers. IMHO, it's a perfect boot!

I really love this boot but am returning because my heel slips and they take a bit too much work to get into. I'm thinking of sinking the cash into a pair of Gentle Souls similar boots in brown instead. Don't get me wrong -- these are adorable -- just think I can do better for the price.

I usually love Zappos but it was almost a full week before they shipped these boots to me and when they arrived they were not the size I ordered. For the price of these boots I expected a little more. They are great quality leather boots but I am disappointed in Zappos.

Can't say how much I love these boots. They are beautifully crafted and loaded with hip, but understated attitude and style. Think of them as grown up Doc Martens. Each times I've worn them I got compliments from complete strangers. Look great with leggings, jeans or skirts with tights. Worth every penny. I can see these becoming my perennial favorite for years to come.

These are my favorite boots. I love everything about them. They are comfortable, high quality, and wonderfully sexy in the punk I do not care at all way. They definitely are not girly-girl boots, and my foot slips slightly in them, but if you want a pair of great stompers that are comfortable all day and look good with everything, then these are perfect. Vintage shoe company is my current favorite and I have to say, they have stolen my business from Frye.
