"Love it"

— Gustavo (5/5)

Happy but confused

"Let me start by expressing how happy I am to have received these boots today and that the fit worked out where I didn’t have to mail them back for a different size. The quality is amazing and the color is everything I wanted. That being said. I’m confused by the smoothed out and more reddish appearance of the ones pictured. I wasn’t completely crazy about that look because I was more drawn to the boots that looked more rough and with loose scale edges (which these have) I feel it gives them a more relaxed and worn look over the dress boot look the advertised ones have. I mean when it comes down to color and texture, my boots are as different as night and day. But they happen to be the look I wanted especially with the 7 toe over other makers who only offer wide toes in them or charge twice as much. Thanks Rujo. This is my second pair from you all. I’m looking forward to my third."

— Rob (5/5)

Fine Boot making at its best!

"These boots look fantastic, fit great out of the box & look better in person. The color is rich and scales are just the right size!! One of the best boots I’ve gotten!!!"

— Rashad W. (5/5)
