The first time I tried these boots were my thoughts: "Maybe I should take to one size larger !?". The leather seemed a bit hard and the boots I felt a bit tight with thicker socks. But after the third wear them These chic boots like a glove. Especially this time of year, where it is in the early morning already pretty cool and get the temparatures again in the afternoon and no one knows what to wear, this unlined boots is the perfect companion for everyday working life. To Jeansjeggings they look really great and also for the "upscale" Age ideal. Very nice quality, not to be expected at a stunning price as Rieker and Amazon differently. I have never had to send shoes back, easily, once you have found the right size for yourself, you have to only worry about the pleasure and the price. Thanks and keep it up.
