Bally Boschi Lambskin Boots (For Men)

Ordered both colors (brown and tan) and like these boots very much so far. First non-Italian or English for high-end shoes I've tried, so was a little skeptical about fit/finish but everything is top notch. Great soft, supple feel to the lambskin, a leather you normally see in nice gloves. Definitely a more stylish boot with a somewhat narrow toebox, and minimal upper support as noted by other reviewers. These are not by any means cowboy boots or something you would work out in the yard with anywhere near dirt, but are great for anything from casual wear/walking the dogs to work wear under slacks. The stacked heal and stealthy rubber lugs (I say stealthy because they are pretty low profile) do provide excellent traction. They are more like boots than dress shoes in that respect. You may have to go snug on these to prevent heal slippage, and a little break-in may be necessary. My outside toes were just hitting the outside front of the toebox but I think it will relax with more break in, and I am not getting any heal slippage. After just one 35 min dog walk they were noticeably more comfortable/getting broken in. Size I ordered and received was the American/US size printed on the box/inside of the boot (Euro size-one size smaller-was also noted). One caveat, the interior lining is the suede-like reverse side of the outer lamskin so you will get color shedding onto your socks when you take them off which could make for some social awkwardness. Kind of made my black pair of socks look all speckled. Hopefully this will go away with more wear
