This is my 15th pair of DC shoes in four years. I liked them all, but this particular pair doesn't have the traditional DC leather that I was expecting. I worked in these boots for a week. They are very comfortable, fit well, look good except for the lack of leather. I am happy and if I wear them I will buy another pair exactly the same. Tip: Order at least 1/2 size larger than you usually order. Read reviews!
