Opinion on this boot?

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

I just saw that boot yesterday. It isn't real leather so I'm not sure if thats a problem, and the slouch is sewn in...so you cant adjust it to how you would want it. I was interested in the boot but after seeing it I'd rather spend a little more for a better boot. I saw these Steven boots which were really nice and had a little slouch to them. HTH!

If you feel you will get alot of use out of it then I think it's worth it.

BTW they are very nice boots

I personally wouldn't pay that much for boots that aren't real leather. They probably won't wear well.

I didnt realize that they were not leather. No way am I going to pay for a boot that much that isnt. Thanks guys for the heads up! I do like the steven one too, I wont be getting them for another couple of weeks, so Ill keep looking and get those ones if dont find something else. Thanks, again!

I actually bought this boot during the Nordie's anniversary sale last week (for $79) and I like them, although admittedly they're a little shorter than I would've liked, they still look nice with jeans tucked in and they seem pretty comfortable (although I've only worn them around the house since it's 100 degrees here)

Not sure if I'd pay full price for them, but I don't think they're bad for what I paid

They actually ARE real leather. It says so right in the product description.

I bought them a few weeks ago at the Nordies sale but then returned them. The heel was higher than what I wanted.

Kitty · Hermes

They're OK..but the heel is a bit chunky for my taste.

Oh!!! I'm sorry. I looked inside the boot and it said man made material...sorry

You're right, zeitgeist4, they are genuine leather according to the description! So the price is actually very good. And I really like the look of the boots.
