These boots were made for walking. This was a boujee purchase and probably the only black boot I’ll wear for the next few years! I was on the fence on getting something more reasonable in the $150-250 price range but I wasn’t in love with them. When I’m not feeling something 100%, I usually get bored and toss them out after a season. Sooo as they say, buy it nice so you don’t have to buy it twice!
