Beautiful boots
I'm a huge fan of Astorflex and was looking for an all black boot for office type work and general street wear. I have plenty of heavier, hiking style boots that I've been wearing, but wanted something lighter. I have slightly flat arches and bad knees so good support (using inserts) and comfort is a must.
As expected, these boots met those demands in spades. The toe box is wide enough to not cramp your toes and the lacing system helps to ensure that these are secured nicely. These boots have a retro, yet unique look with the pebbled leather. The fact that these are handmade in Italy is another bonus, especially given that so much stuff is being outsourced to Asia. These are not inexpensive, but then again, high quality materials and workmanship cost money.
I'm a solid size 10.5 and tried both the size 10 and 11 and while both fit me, I decided on the size 11 (44) - especially since I will be wearing inserts. The Huckberry Happy Returns program makes returning an item easy, quick, painless and your credit card is almost immediately refunded.
