“I waited to write a review until I had properly broken-in these boots. It’s been about 3 months and I think I can confidently say they are everything I hoped and more. I am complimented on them every single time I wear them. They look great. The leather and build quality is apparent as soon as you lay your eyes on them. These are awesome looking boots. But what surprised me the most was how they feel once you slip them on. The uppers feel like they were molded to my feet. Tight but not restrictive. The leather moves with you as you walk. I hesitate to say it “bends and flexes” because it’s so much smoother than that. I imagine this is how super heroes feel when they’re saving the world in their skin tight outfits . Overall, I am very happy with my CU balmoral boots”
