Men's Blaine Orsen Ankle Boot

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

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 them! Nice and comfy. They come looking a little raw, but I rubbed some beeswax on them and they darkened and evened out and look great! I couldn't tell if they had a zipper from the picture. They don't. It's the same on both sides. It feels like a zipper would have been a nice upgrade, but I'm ok with it.

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

Theses boots are great, especially at this price point. Real leather. This is my second pair. Finding right size is the trick. Initially they are snug but put a little saddle soap on them to help soften and condition, wear often for short stretches and they loosen up and fit to your foot. I hope they keep this boot in the catalog with the same quality for years to come. Great for kicking around or brush’em up with a little polish and you can wear them out to something a lot fancy.

True to the size. Good lucking and comfortable.

They run small. I normally wear a 10.5 in work boots. But these boots are a tight fit. You will need to wear a ultra thin dress socks to be able to slip your foot in. But your able to slip in your foot. The toes feel fine but the top of your foot is tight. Maybe they will brake in. The taps to help you pull the boot on are so small, you can't get a good grip.

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

Lovely quality and looked great, just a bit snug for a high instep so had to send back. But that was easy to do.

Passen und sind robust wie erwartet

Absolutely fab pair of boots, well made, very comfortable and a very reliable make. Wouldn't hesitate buying another pair. And have since bought a brown pair.

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.
