These western boots exceeded my expectations. I am normally a bit of a “boot snob” and typically stick with a few brands that I know and love but I can honestly say they are well worth it and pretty high quality. The other huge plus is that I have never had boots this tall that fit my very athletic calves. I honestly cannot wait to wear these with a dress and style them. I did go up half a size just to be sure I would have enough room. But I probably could’ve stuck with my true size. They also seem very comfortable.
