These are reliable, well made shoes. Personally, I could use a little more room in the toe box, but this is not the first pair of these shoes I’ve purchased! There are multiple colors, so I have multiple pairs! I recommend a size up from the standard you’d normally get, and they’ll last for several seasons of hard wear. Great product, great price!
Love these shoes. I love the vibrant green and they are great tied with a ribbon or worn with a buckle.
These are even nicer in person than I expected from the picture. They fit very true to size and feel wonderful on my feet. The leather molded almost instantly to fit, and fitting the buckles was easier than I anticipated. I just wish Samson Historical made 19th-century button boots!
