'Protégé' Cap Toe Boot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the style, fit, and color of these boots. I actually purchased two pairs fairly close together, although I haven’t had a chance to wear them extensively yet. My only concern so far is with the first pair. After wearing them approximately ten times, the zipper on the left boot has already started giving me trouble and can be difficult to zip up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look and feel of the boots. They are very comfortable and broken in right out of the box. However, the low rating is due to the fact that the zipper on the heel of one of the boots keeps busting open just from normal walking. The zipper does not fall down but rather separates in the middle leaving the clasp at the top. This makes it extremely difficult to zip back down to get the zippers back in place.

Nice boots! Fit is correct for the size. Stiff sole, so they are a little clunky when walking but not uncomfortable. ""Unique"" distress to the leather does not exactly match example photos but looks good. Would give 5 stars but left boot zipper has less friction than right boot and can unzip itself when walking if the boot is laced tightly. Somewhat annoying that this unzips but loosening the upper laces a little seems to have fixed this.

parts of the rubber sole broke off in the first day, only on carpet inside. 1 year in all stitching has come off, cracks in the leather (despite proper conditioning, and a massive tear in the leather where the tongue joins. AVOID THIS BRAND

I have been a loyal Bedstu customer for years but had never gotten a pair of their boots, Im so glad I finally did. I love these boots! They are extremely comfortable and well made, just like all of my other Bedstu shoes. Thank you!

A warning: Though the boots will work well, I do not recommend using the company's restoration program. So far, after a couple of months, no boots returned. There are delays, of course, but that isn't a customer's problem. I have another pair that needs work, but I don't want to lose wearing them for a few months, so will look elsewhere.
