Men's Blaine Orsen Ankle Boot

I've owned a lot of boots in my life and while I cannot speak to the 400-500 dollar boots that people swear by, for my budget, these are hands down the best I've ever owned. These photos are about 3 years in of regular use. Aside from scuffs and general weathering from use, they are holding up fantastic. They develop a nice "patina" after a while that I think looks great. Also, they are wildly comfortable and true to size from the start. The cushioning has worn down a little in the three years of use, but not nearly as much as most other shoes. I can probably get another 3-5 years out of these before I need to replace them. I'll probably just get a couple more pairs and put them in the closet. All for what? 75 bucks I think I paid? Absolutely worth it.

Great quality and value. Skechers is a brand everyone knows & trusts to make great foot apparel at a reasonable price thats known to last. Very comfortable & easy to put on. Sized about right, as I usually wear a 10. Your feet slide in like a hand in glove. I love the style with just about anything, although I plan to wear them on my bike. Very functional too. The weight is about medium. See photo

Great boots. Fit well and comfortable. However, they are a FAR lighter color in person which was kind of disappointing.

I've worn these ankle boots for about 5 month now and could not be happier! They are easy to slip on without having to mess with laces, zippers or Velcro. Once on, they feel solid and move with my feet. I love the high quality look with 100% real leather uppers. They keep my feet warm in the winter (thicker socks add even more warmth). I love the out-sole made of high-quality, thick rubber. The lugs provide traction over any surface without marking floors. People think I am wearing high-end boots costing well over $300! I rarely advertise I bought these for a fraction of that. They are true to size and I'll definitely be buying more of these!

I love these boots, very well made. Thick oiled leather and the cost is about the same as a pair of sneakers. I had purchased a black pair several years ago that became my every day wear. These will replace those. These boots are a beautiful dark brown and can be worn comfortably in any weather conditions.

I absolutely love them. They look and fit great. I wear a 13 and the fit is great, which I worried about. If anything they're a touch roomy but not enough to worry about at all. I'm really happy with the looks, fit, and comfort.

Purchased these in my normal size 9. I have purchased Sketchers in 9 before (my current pair fits great), so I assumed these would fit the same......NOT the case! While I could get them on, they were too short, ramming my heel all the way back. Sketchers are fantastic quality shoes. My slip on "loafer" style are approximately 2 years old and still look like new. I have jumped up a full size to a 10 in a reorder. When the 10s arrived, they were not dark brown but a buck skin color! I read numerous other reviews and saw that many others had the same experience. One guy said he just got out his brown Kiwi polish and that changed the color, so that's what I did. Took care of the obnoxious color and added a layer of additional weather protection.

These boots are pretty good. I was trying to find something in the style of Blundstones or Redbacks, but cheaper, and these boots basically fit that bill. There are a couple of things that I'm not uber-happy about, though: 1) the way the elastic is set up makes it so that your heel comes up a bit as you walk, and so after wearing them a full day, the back of my heel is raw... 2) I don't know why they stitched those strips of leather over the elastic gore. They look cheesy there. Just let the elastic show! 3) I prefer to have a sole of a different color than the upper (like Dr Martens). The sole of these boots matches the uppers perfectly, so there is no contrast. I just sort of think that makes them not as cool looking as I want them to be... None of these are absolute deal breakers, though, so I'd say these aren't too bad of a buy... EDIT (02/08/2013). I've been wearing these boots all winter (South Bend, Indiana), and I have a few additional comments. 1) they hold up to the weather great. I haven't waterproofed them, but they are pretty water repellent on their own. That's a major plus. 2) About the fit. I've discovered that the fit is greatly improved by wearing thicker-than-normal socks. I bought a few pairs of "boot socks". This prevents the "rubbing" at the back of the heel. 3) These boots look GREAT with dark, boot-cut jeans. The styling has grown on me for this context. They look pretty good with straight-legged dark khakis/chinos (grey, green, brown, black etc.). The key is the boot-cut/straight-leg and the dark color. If you try to wear them with light colored pants and/or with a tapered/relaxed leg, they just look kind of goofy. The cuff of the pant catches on the pull and it looks like you don't know how to put on your pants. The all-black color of the boots really looks bad with light colors (tan khaki's, or light blue jeans). In the right context, however, I now think these boots can look really good, and I'm more happy with my purchase now than I was at first. I've upgraded my revieww from three to four stars! EDIT (06/09/2014). Another year gone, another winter past, and this time, several Arctic Vortexes to boot! These boots held up through all of that. I moved to Pittsburgh, PA, and wore these boots every day this winter. PGH is a great city, but man, do they not take care of their roads and sidewalks! Potholes, loose gravel, ice, salt, ankle-deep puddles! These boots took them all in stride, and kept my feet warm and dry without making me look like a dork or a mountaineering guide. I'm packing up my apartment now, getting ready for a move back down to sunny Phoenix Arizona where I started out two years ago. I picked up these boots, and thought "should I pack these away really deep with all my other winter gear?". Nope. I love these boots so much that I think I'll even wear them in the Arizona "winter"! Even if I have to sweat a little doing it! I'm upgrading my review to four stars!

فتحة الارتداء واسعة جدًا وماعدا ذلك فالحذاء ممتاز

Very nice pair of boots with leather upper and robust tracks on the bottom. The colour is pretty accurate as the product page, except for the collar / shaft of the boot, which uses a decidedly darker leather on the pair I received. Hopefully it will fade overtime, but regardless, it's the part that is usually covered by the jeans anyways. There is good padding throughout (including the inner sole and the upper part), but incidentally, this also makes the fit so much more snug, and I don't wear socks!!! That said, I have wide feet, and I wish there is a wider fit to choose from. As it is, hopefully overtime, the leather will relax to ease the squeeze. My advice is, if you have wide feet, you may have to go 1/2 size bigger. If you wear socks, especially thick ones, definitely go 1/2 size bigger. If you wear socks and have wide feet, you may need to go a full size bigger.

a bit loose fitting compared to others

The best shoe best quality and best product

Fit tight at first, but stretch in a couple of days, so get your regular size. Extremely tight to put on at first, but this loosens up as well. Well built for the price--stitched lug soles and thick leather. The popping/clicking sound on the sole mentioned by other reviewers is definitely a thing: not a deal breaker or loud, but definitely there. For under a hundred bucks, however, one can live with this small drawback. UPDATE: I take it all back. After two weeks of moderate use, the rubber on the sides of the sole is cracked in numerous places and the leather is separating from the sole. They look good and fit well, but are junk in terms of quality. If you're looking for a nice pair of disposable boots, these are great. Otherwise, look elsewhere. Shame, because the leather is good and thick, and the style is great, but these boots have led me to believe that Skechers are sketchy. Dropped to a one star review because zero is not an option.
