I purchased these for my teen for Christmas and she found them before I could get them hidden. They went on her feet and didn't come off all day. She loves them and said just wrap the empty box....ah teens. She says they are very steam punk , I'm not sure what that means because I don't speak teen, what I do speak is mom and as a mom I find these to be very well made which seems hard to come by in this style of boots. Leather not pleather and thick heavy leather that will stand up to a good amount of abuse. These are not a 1- 2 year pair of boots they will last a good 10 years plus if cared for. They come complete with a full side zip so not only will they fit everywhere because of being able to adjust the laces but you won't have to relace constantly.
