First of all, I have to admit that I am biased against shoes with elastic tongues. I don't like them right away, I haven't even put them on yet. Tar gave these boots an "amazing result". The second hit came when I looked down at them and saw that they added two sizes to my feet. No selling point. They fell, swaying as their egg-blue robin color reminded me of an old episode of Miami Vice I saw on classic TV... not my type. I have to say they are comfortable and the quality is ok but I'm afraid it's just not my style. To each his own...
