These boots are bloody lovely! I've had them for a couple of months now and they are brilliant. The breaking in process was not as hard as I imagined as they were pretty comfortable out of the box. The presentation and packaging was very nice. These are the first proper pair of leather boots I've dropped this amount of money on, but it is true you do get what you pay. Oh and the smell! The smell of the leather is fantastic! If I were to be picky an option of different laces would have been nice. Whilst I love the look of the leather ones supplied (they do look the nuts) I found myself having to take them out of a couple of eyelets every time I took them off. The leather laces soon became very fibrous. I changed them for some waxed cotton ones and it's all good. Like I said that's just me being picky. Keep up the good work guys!
