Bought in size 42 this shoe. Carrying normal 41, they fit well in very cold weather it is safe even with a pair of very thick socks. The leather is grained and shines not, therefore, very sensitive one does not equal any scratches. The sole is soft and comfortable. The bootleg is from knitting material, therefore very elastic and walking nothing pushes in the ankle area. The lining is soft and thick wool, very warm. The Frabe is not deep black, rather a very special dunklles anthracite. All in all a very comfortable shoe that looks great with jeans and trousers. At this price, you can really go wrong - strong buy recommendation!
