NEW CLASSIC ANKLE BOOTS

Saquen más de este modelo por favor

I wrote the negative review down below. I wish I could delete it, but here we are. Son I figured an update was in order.

I wore the boots for a good while over the last year, and they still look brand new and feel even better after all the wear. Went on a really rocky hike in Arizona (yes, I manage my choices poorly) - even the heels didn't mind the sharp and loose rocks. I've flown with them a ton (airport security loves to compliment them), they're comfortable enough to sit 10+ hours on planes with.

Apart from my complaint from 2022, a few days after receiving them, they've stood the test of use. Sharp door corners at bathroom club toilets, snow, rain and sand haven't altered the boots. Just my cat managed to give it a mean scratch while using my boot as a climbing tool.

And guess what? A few wears later, the leather had almost self mended. The rest buffing out made me reconsider everything I had previously said about their craftsmanship. The leather quality of this boot put a large amount of other boots to shame.

So: I stand corrected. I genuinely adore these boots, despite their initial imperfections.

First off, let me say that you get a lot for your money. The leather quality is good, the craftsmanship seems to be alright enough for the boots to last.

However, and this is the part that really bums me out, the boots I received were not the same pair. The heel on the left boot was attached further towards the front (the whole sole is off), making a future repair job impossible without re-soling the boot. Unfinished stitching on the harness and the general dissimilarity make the pair seem off (the shaft alignment is different, the right boot is straight, the left boot leans back, and so on).

After taking a series of pictures and contacting their support, the reply was:

"Maybe we are not the company for you. This isn't YSL."

I would have hoped, at least, to be offered an exchange for a pair that actually would work together.
