Last year I bought a pair of boots in the same style but Calvin Klein! I'm so worn that I decided to take advantage of sales and buy a new pair in case the other would drop me. These are more crowded (especially at the neck shot) but they really robust air. Non-shiny thick black leather, gun loops really discreet matt gun. They make little feet and are comfortable after the first day a little painful (the time to "do"). If you make the 38 and a half and you plan to wear thick socks, order of 39!
