I have the Boot now in matte black and blue glossy because it super like it. Nevertheless, it is very slim and stylish on foot, it is very convenient to my "normal built" feet. Lightly insulated and good sole without slipping. Fits right in my size. For this I need to open either the zipper nor the laces, to put them on - great, quick handling! Important for the shoes: No waterproofing spray for leather, but a universal spray for all materials (there are in any drugstore) use, it is a white film may otherwise occur! I have read about other Tamaris shoes from the shiny material, it cracks occur in the upper. So far, I could not watch. If it happens, certainly a reason for complaint and I will add a response.
