Tyler Plain Toe Boot (Men)

Really disappointed with these. The photos showed a rich, polished leather with natural depth, but the pair I received has a heavy, painted-looking finish that feels artificial and won’t develop any character over time. It’ll just scuff and wear poorly. The metal details and color overall are also a different color than pictured, which makes the overall package feel cheaper than expected. Not what I thought I was paying for.

Out of the box, they were snug around the middle, and I was concerned my wide feet might not fit these boots. But literally within five minutes of wearing them the warmth of my feet expanded the leather and they fit perfect. I think the softness and quality of the leather uppers on these is really what you're paying for. The soles are a little thin and I could see where after 6 to 12 months of weat you might have to resole the entire boot. That's my only criticism so far. The other part that is problematic is they are difficult to put on - considering the lace up aspect. I like the leather laces, but they do make it more difficult to loosen and tighten the boot. For this style of boot, these are a very good choice and good quality. I don't think you'll be disappointed by these boots regardless of the style you choose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I must like these boots, as I just bought my third pair. However, I’m buying this pair in hopes that they will live up to my first pair. The second pair, even though I bought the same size as before, always felt bigger and longer than my first. I bought a half size down, my normal size, and these feel better. They may still be slightly longer than my first pair. There seems to be a slight problem with consistency. Interestingly, the leather feels significantly different on each pair too. I’m hoping this pair will wear into the suppleness of my first pair (since they are 9 years old, it’s hard to remember how soft they were initially).
