I would like to rate these boots in 2 parts.
Firstly, the service from the male in the store over the phone. He could not have been more helpful and made my decision on buying these boots much easier.
Secondly, the boots themselves are amazing! Super strong and hold your ankle so nicely!
All in all, very very happy! :)

The AForme refers to the more asymmetric shape of the last.
