Never heard of these boots until I looked online. Bought a pair of the wider fitting Aztec model on spec and tried them out on the Pembrokeshire coastal path. I have never had a pair of leather boots that fitted so comfortably straight out of the box, so thus far I am very pleased with my purchase. Time will tell how well they last, but things look promising at the moment. As for the price - these are probably one of the best value boots on the market. They appear to be very well made - after all they are Italian - and my past experience with boots from this country has been a good one, so fingers crossed. I shall try to persuade my wife to buy a pair when her current boots wear out.
