Maddox Reserve Wingtip Dress Boot (Men)

I have had these for a month. I went back and forth on buying and then on whether to keep them. They are beautiful. They show as a quality boot. The main problem I have is they aren't worth the money. For a 1000 dollars, they should be better. They are noisy. When you walk, you hear them. They are not the most comfortable boot I have...not even close. I have nearly a dozen pair of AE boots. I love them. These boots aren't worth double the cost of their traditional boot.
