Allittle snug out of the box, but they break-in quick. Feels incredibly well made. I owned Steve Madden boots before and was let down after a year as they began to tear and fall apart. These Bed Stus feel and look top notch.

Have been looking for boots like these for a long time and while the color I wanted wasn't available, I will certainly get them when they are! Great boots.

These are my new favorite boots. I originally stumbled onto these looking for a casual boot with a side zipper for easy off-and-on, of which there are many. I don't like plain black boots and nearly never wear brown, which pretty much excluded even the most comfortable boots in that style from Timberland.
Originally I would have said that these boots were beyond my budget, but these are incredibly well-fitting and comfortable for the style of shoe. They look badass, break in easily (and quickly), reek of manly-man leather, and give a substantial height boost. The zipper on the back means you never have to futz with laces while getting the look for free.
These boots have my highest recommendation; you'll know where the money went the moment you put them on.

First of all I ordered the black lux color. They came quick next day actually. Fit great looked great but a small imperfection I could not deal with for this price. And Zappos is amazing they sent me a replacement but in the teak color. These are awesome boots they fit and look awesome. But as everyone knows you get what you pay for, Bed Stu is the best boot manufacturer that I know of. Pricey but worth it. And Zappos? This company is boss. Hands down best online shopping experience ever. Thank you, guys.

Excellent boot! True to size. The break in time is instantly. I just put them on and walked around my house. Super comfy. This is my 5th pair of Bed Stu. I definitely recommend. Made really well. Craftsmanship is on point.

Love my new BedStu Protege boots. I read a lot of reviews with size issue with Bedstu, but I own Corsico oxfords and now these boots and they are both a true 10.5 in size and fit perfect, especially after regarding few nights out with them. I had a pair of Post boots too that were spot on in size, so I feel they run true to size. Great tan color looks awesome with denim. And I love cap toe boots in general, so these are my new go to pair.
I'd also recommend:
True Religion, Dr. Marten, Rogue, J Shoes

Got my first pair in 2014. Wore them into their afterlife, sadly. Fortunately, they have a Protg. More of the originality in revised design elements and stature. (Taller shaft). Had a small issue with the zippers on the new, but Bed Stu is immediately on top of speedy response and replacement pair. Really well-made shoe. Plus, the compliments dont stop. The Black Lux is character in continual evolution. You deserve some!

I have been a loyal Bedstu customer for years but had never gotten a pair of their boots, Im so glad I finally did. I love these boots! They are extremely comfortable and well made, just like all of my other Bedstu shoes. Thank you!

A warning: Though the boots will work well, I do not recommend using the company's restoration program. So far, after a couple of months, no boots returned. There are delays, of course, but that isn't a customer's problem. I have another pair that needs work, but I don't want to lose wearing them for a few months, so will look elsewhere.

Great looking, comfortable boots that are up to standard on the design end. However, atypical of my experience of buying boots from this company over many years, the zipper on the left boot came apart after about two months. What otherwise would have been a great pair of boots got sent off to an early retirement due to a quality issue with the zipper. If you wear a pair of Proteges on business travel, I'd reccomend packing a second set of shoes just in case.

Leather finish is not very rugged. Scuffs and looses finish easily. Frye makes a better quality boot.

I want so much to give 5 stars ,however, after 3 years Ive replaced the sole twice and the zipper broke and when I went to replace with a reputable and very talented boot cobbler they were unsuccessful in getting a repair done that makes them wearable so at the moment I am bootless and will be forced to buy another pair. I hope to hear from someone regarding these issues thank you.

This is the second pair of Protege that I bought for my husband. The craftsmanship & style are impeccable. The comfort is a big plus as well. He always gets compliments on his boots! We now own 11 pairs of BedStu boots & sandals between us. Hands down, best mens boot ever!!!

Fan of the brand. Have another pair around 10 yrs old that still look great. Soles are somewhat unique looking on their boots; high quality. This is not a 5 bc the inner boot has leather that covers the zipper which runs along the back of the boot. This piece of leather continues to bunch up causing discomfort; at least on my pair.

You guys are HORRIBLE. I purchased a shoe from you a couple of years back. I wore the shoe Maybe 8 times for the full year. And I called your customer service to tell them that both soles were chipping off at the front. Clearly there is a defect in your sole. You are rude customer service representative said since it was 3 weeks after the year. It's no longer under warranty and you wouldn't do anything about it. I sent many pictures at your customer services request as well. That's terrible customer service and you lost a very good CONSISTENT customer.

Got myself a pair of the Protgs in the teak colour. Amazingly comfortable after a few hours wear. Spent a day traipsing around the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival the day after getting them without a blister. But theyre also suitably solid. Very happy with this
