These boots are so stylish and they just look so amazing in person! The leather is very sturdy and of good quality. That being said, I'm not sure if they will ever be broken in. I'm still trying to wear them as much as I can for the past month. The top of the boots are a much wider than I'd like them to be as I have very skinny ankles/calves and because of hard leather material, there is only so much I can do to "tighten" the opening. But I think I can fix this issue by wearing thicker socks. The fit for your soles is exact to the fit info provided. I would recommend you to measure your feet according to the fit chart given instead of going for your usual shoe size. The boots themselves are very lightweight, however the chains are surprisingly heavy. Each pair of chains is 250g and there's 2 pairs here. Thankfully, these are easily removable so I only kept one chain and a pair of plain bondage on each boot. I love how the little D-rings on these boots so I can customize them with my own accessories if I wanted to!
