I dig these for cosplay. You could probably use them for horse riding, or as rubber boots for shoveling snow? They do look a little on the cheap side, but for the price you're not going to be entering any fashion shows.

These are PERFECT for my Jedi and Imperial officer costumes. They are affordable as well. Can't beat these!

I bought these for my son, who needed "riding boots" for a part he has in a musical. The boots are too tall, like many reviews expressed (my son is 5'9"), but from far away they do look like authentic riding boots. My son also said they were comfortable (except for the height). The director liked these boots the most, so my son will be putting up with the discomfort (behind the knees) for the show. These boots would be a 5 if you are 6'2" or taller or if they would cut down the boot by 2 inches.

Bought these to round out a Han Solo costume. Have to say that in the picture, they look terrific and fairly true to the HS look. When I received the boots, I really liked the look and build, including the (orange) lining on the inside. The texture of the rubber on the outside is also very leather-like. The general curve of the boots is really suggestive of some good styling. But upon trying them on, I saw a pair of Han Solo boots turn into just a pair of really nice rain boots. The material is very stiff and relatively heavy - both of which I could reasonably live with. But what I didn't like was the ankles - round and awkward looking, more like a typical rubber boot. This may be fine for someone with really fat ankles, but then I doubt it, as the tops really only accommodate average sized calves. And with no zipper or snap, they are also not very easy to get in and out of. So what we have is really nice looking, well shaped and well-built rain boots, if that's what you're after. But Han Solo boots? Meh, not so much.

Seem very well made. Nice rubber construction but looks like leather from a distance. They run a bit small but I knew that going in - I normally wear 11 to 11 1/2 so I ordered 12 - they fit like they were made for me. Nice padding on the inside. For the price they are excellent. Bought these for a costume and they will probably last a good long time. I almost bought a pair of "costume" side-zip boots but after seeing the reviews of soles falling off right out of the box I ordered these instead - much better purchase.
