Men's Lace Up Leather Dress Boots - Black

With the amount of items that I've purchased and will continue to purchase, sooner or later you have to find something that doesn't suit you. That much being said
I've never known or met anyone who liked every pair of shoes they've tried on. These same shoes might make another person very happy! I sent them back and was given a refund just as advertised. How can anyone complain about that?

The kind of traditional make, from real leather, that real would be done by a real cobbler.

Extremely Fancy

Stylin'

Nice shoes that fit well

I bought this for Mark Twain Days. Lots of people dress in 1860 attire for the event. I look like I just arrived out west during the Comstock Era.

Boots are perfect.

At first these look awesome. You can't even tell that the laces (which are plenty long enough btw) are synthetic. As far as the lining goes, I wish it were leather and not synthetic. I really like that the soles are leather, that kind of authenticity is hard to find. Generally speaking they have been very comfortable for the start ,however going up and down stairs is slightly bothersome. After wearing them 5 times they already have multiple wrinkles and I don't expect them to last more than 2 years. If you need these for "costume" purposes and not everyday wear like me they are perfect. Despite all these issues I would still say that they are a decent inexpensive addition to my wardrobe.

I love these boots, so cool, so sharp style wise. But I take 1 star away because the laces were way too short, they were meant for shoes, not boots. I had laces from another pair of boots that I replaced them with, no big whoop!

After slipping these boots on, I was surprised that they were very comfortable as far as boots go.
I wear a sz 10 and I expected a tight fit. These are nice and roomy, not too stiff and the ankles were not at all as bad as one review implied.
Worth the money? Every penny!
Beware: As with any good leather soles, these are extremely slippery and need a good asphalt dance at once.
Very very happy with Historical Emporium as usual.

These boots look just as nice as they appear in the photo gallery on the website. However, take note of that stiff ankle. The leather there is also just as stiff as it appears in the photos! As soon as I put them on and took a step, I realized I'd sadly have to return them. If I had kept them, I would have worn them to one event, and then I would have never touched them again.

If you're used to high ankle dress boots, I imagine you'd be fine. But if you aren't used to it, you're in for a wake-up call! Still, I cannot say enough good things about how classy they look.

I have trouble getting boots and shoes to fit. But these were absolutely great.

Love the feel of them.

Well made, classic style, leather construction, nice shine. Leather soles a little slick until you wear them for a while to scratch up the bottom for traction. I went a size larger since my feet tend to be slightly larger than 10. Glad I did. Figured I'd have to wear an extra thick sock, but they're not loose at all. I've worn them for several hours at a time already and no discomfort at all, nor do I feel they give me inadequate support where it counts on my feet. Very happy with purchase.

I received the boots in just a few days after I order them,they were packaged very professionally. The boots looked great but the souls were very slick and the function I was going to the sidewalks and roads maybe wet or even have snow on them. I tried the boots on and they squeaked louder than normal leather dress shoes or boots. I returned the boots without any problem and was refunded fully in just a couple of days.

These shoes look authentic to the late 1800's or early 20th century. They fit and look great.

Well made shoe/boot

Exactly what I was looking for. I put a scoring blade in my utility knife and lightly cross-hatched the sole to provide just a little more traction. They are great in the garden as the smooth sole does not cake up with loam and they polish up good enough to wear with my tuxedo on formal occasions. The pair weigh less than one of my former work boots.

Best dress shoes ever! Very convertible (Recommendation walk on rough concrete before event) an everyday wear.

I purchased these boots for my husband as a Christmas gift. He loved them. We are extremely pleased with the quality and fit. Worth every penny!

Kid leather may be a bit too thin for absolutely top rating.

I've held off on writing this review for some time, as I hadn't had sufficient experience with them to give a proper accounting. Unfortunately this is the one bad review that I must give, for anything purchased from this store. On putting them on for my third wearing them (once to test the fit and once out to an event) the leather around an eyelet tore and the eyelet popped out. The leather is simply too thin, to take the strain of lacing them up to anything vaguely approaching tight, as there are strain marks on several others as well. It's truly a pity as they are very comfortable and otherwise wearable.

It has been over 20 years since I last owned a pair of real leather shoes with leather soles. These fit very nicely out of the box and I just need to break them in a bit. I forgot how much leather shoes squeak when you first get them. Thank you very much!

Good quality boot. Not sure how it would hold up for daily wear though. Time will tell. Most strongly suggest that you sand or roughen the soles before venturing out. Brand new these shoes are like walking on ice.

I found these to be very comfortable. They were much lighter than in weight than my other dress ankle boots, due presumably to the kid leather (thinner). Sizing was spot on for me. Overall well pleased. Time will tell how they hold up in the long run.

The boots are fantastic! Very nice quality and shape for a resonable price

My boots arrive last day of delivery window. I wish there was option for width because even though I ordered a size larger, they still pretty tight. I have gotten three compliments first day I wore them. I do like them but will have to get used to the fit.

These shoes are perfect. Hands down.

Outstanding

These boots are very comfortable, and look nice. They stood out in a recent job interview that turned into my new job! Great quality.

What a great looking and nicely made pair of shoes. I have a narrow foot and will have to add some insoles and moles skin pads (nothing new for me). But these are great! Excellent packaging. Love 'em

VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE SHOES I ORDERED. THANK YOU!! WILL ORDER AGAIN SOON.
