These are my 3rd pair of W&G boots (I also own the trench and heist) . I wasn't looking to add to my collection of 30+ boots but when these went on sale for an incredible price I couldn't resist. As usual, I was blown away with the quality, detailing and finishing that Warfield & Grand consistently produces. It's truly hard to believe you can still purchase a blake stitched boot of this quality for such an amazing value. I've spent 3X more on other boots that I don't like or wear as much as my W&G's. They run true to size and were comfortable on my feet right out of the box. The suede feels more like a roughout leather which adds a classy touch that is sure to turn heads. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. 5 Stars!!
