La Milano. I am not familiar with this brand at all and this is the first time that I have ever purchased anything from this company. But I have to admit that I am very happy with my purchase!This sleek looking, traditional, single monk strap boot is a head turner in every sense of the word when it comes to style. The cinnamon brushed stroked hue is astonishing to say the least. And the craftsmanship of this boot is impeccable by every standard when it comes to making a great monk strap boot. The Armenian upper leather constructed for this boot is just a nice way of saying that the boot is made from genuine leather, which is the lowest grain of leather found on the market for leather products, but it is leather still. The leather is remarkably soft and relaxed and the memory foam inside the boot should help to keep your feet comfortable. I purchased a size 12 and the fit is spot on. The stitching on the boot appears to be very well done and is the same color as the boot itself. I don't foresee the stitching coming loose anytime soon. And the latex heel cushion makes this boot feel as if you're wearing a pair of very comfortable casual shoes while walking in them!Just some minor negatives about this boot: The description also states that this is a winter boot. I would not recommend wearing this boot in the winter when snow goes above ankle high as there is little to no protection from keeping the snow from filling Into the mouth of the boot. And traction on the boot certainly does not meet the standards of your normal snow boot. May the force be with you while wearing these when walking on slippery or icy surfaces. And you can definitely get away with wearing this boot with formal wear, but I think that they are best suited when worn with semi-formal or casual wear. (Jeans and a dress shirt or t-shirt even).Having said all that, I would definitely say that this is the most comfortable, and has instantly become my most favorite boot that I have ever worn! I do recommend buying this boot as it will make an excellent addition to any gentleman's wardrobe. And for this price range and quality, there is just not another boot comparable to it on the Market. With a price tag under $80 this boot is an absolute steal!
