I am nearing the end of a 5 week tour of Italy staying in 7 different towns or cities. I have worn these boots on EVERY travel day (sometimes taking 7 hours) and often walking around various cities. These boots remain very comfortable and fit really well. Additionally I have gotten several compliments from local Italians on their attractiveness.
With 10 days now to go I can say I would and might actually buy another pair. These I purchased at a Boot Barn on Puyallup WA and will no doubt return to that same store.
