4 stars because I know if you have leather as soft as these are you need to be mindful of where you wear them and what you are wearing them for. Same goes for boots with a leather sole. On the other hand these are ridiculously comfortable.

Really nice boots. I had no issues with leather quality. THey are very comfortable, and actually prefer the leather bottoms with no inserts to the rubber soled boots with inserts that wear out and leave your foot hurting. My only complaint is that the heel wore out, and there's a little sheet of plastic between the rubber and the leather. Kind of a wear-protector, I guess. Anyway, it seemed it didn't take very long to wear thru the leather AND the plastic. I have had the heels only re-soled, and now I'm starting to wear thru the second heel. I didn't take off a star, because I think it must just be me dragging my feet, not a product issue.

Super comfortable boots, and they stay looking really nice too. Leather bottoms aren't as bad as you'd think on ice, either!

Edit 2 years later: I've had the heels re-soled once, and they are worn out again, along with the leather; I've got a couple holes through the bottom layer by the pads of my feet. I'm debating if I should have them re-soled for $70 or just buy a new pair. Hope this gives you an idea of the longevity. I'm still really pleased with them - very comfortable, and you can't expect a boot to not wear out. I wear these almost daily all day.

I bought these for my son, and he loves them. But, one of the boots has a cut in the top of the toe part. It's not noticable now but with time I'm worried it'll become a problem.

I bought these for my boyfriend. When we received them they were stained with white. It looked like if someone had literally taken white spray paint and sprayed it on. So I returned them and received my exchange a few days later. I opened the box and same thing. Not as bad but still not in the condition I expected. I decided to keep the second pair because they were for an event a few days later. If they weren't stained I would rate a 5 star.

Have been looking for a nice boot with square toe and low heel that was affordable. I FOUND IT here on Amazon. Justin Boots that are comfortable, square toe and low heel. Am very pleased - nice color combo and easy to take on and off. Recommend
