I would return these if I didn’t need them urgently for an event. Do not buy these, the interior seam is exposed and runs right down the ankle, it is definitely going to cause irritation. Manufacturer didn’t paint the sole of the shoe before attaching the leather so you can see the brown showing through, looks so cheap, I’m going to take a sharpie to it I guess. Manufacturer also couldn’t be bothered to trim the rubber soles so there are “hairs” of the stamp I’m going to have to cut off myself. See photos.

Wasn’t sure about the material when I purchased these boots. They didn’t look like smooth leather, but I liked the look of the boot so I took a chance. Definitely not smooth leather…..almost like suede. But still a good looking boot. The size is true although slightly tight in the width. They’ll stretch. Too hot to wear them now but so looking forward to wearing them in the fall.
