I purchased the lace up boots. I love that there is finally a boot with a heel that has a wide toe box. The toe box is pretty big but not too big and the tread is perfect. I bought these for hose back riding, hence my requirment for a heel, but wear them for other events too. Riding boots are way too narrow but these are perfect and super comfy when walking around the barn. The black boots look great with my black half chaps. I can also wear them to other events and they look great. The real leather looks high quality and the soles are super comfy. I am definitely considering buying different styles of shoes from ubekeen. They are just that comfortable.
