The leather is soft, and I'm hoping it'll smoosh a bit with time. The boots themselves are very comfortable (I am a size 7.5 and got size 8). The soles are a bit slippery, but that's easily fixed.
I am really digging the look. They looked better on than I thought they would (I thought they would make me look too stumpy). Definitely a retro look (why am I thinking hair bands?) that is not for everyone, but it works for this MOTG!
P.S. Sorry about the poor lighting; I had to digitally adjust the exposure, so they're not the greatest photos.
