Customer Review: “Gorgeous moto-style boots. Smell like heaven, hardware is solid, leather is soft and feels wonderful. Fit is on point; I ordered a half-size up in order to use insoles with more arch support due to plantar fasciitis. These boots actually feel quite good without the additional support. Great fit and feel. Could be worn with everything from jeans to leggings to skirts and dresses. Beautiful boots.”
