First of all I couldn't believe how quickly the boots arrived and how well they were packaged. On first examination of the boots I was pleasantly surprised how good the quality of artwork was. It is very detailed and seems integral to the boots. The boots themselves are light but the construction of them seems excellent. Of course, it is too early at this stage to say how they will fare with regular use and if are built to last. What I can say at this stage though is how ultra comfortable they are. I can't wait to wear them out and about, and providing all goes well I will be buying other pairs in different designs.
