This pair of Brogue boots represents the 5th pair of boots that's I've attempted with Will's. This is the first of pair of the Good Year Welted Brogue boots, and I upgraded to them after 4 pervious pairs of work boots came apart in various fashions. A few of those pairs were replacements. I did like the look and style and they seem sturdier than the "Work Boot". But... my expectations fell short, and these fell apart like the others, despite having a nicer sole. To be fair, Wills was pretty quick about replacing the faltering first boots and after the 4th failed pair, I thought that upgrading to the Welted Brogue would be the wise thing. I was wrong. The boots are bizarrely narrow as some others have mentioned, and after ca 10 months of wearing very occasionally (perhaps ca 100-120 times), they came apart where the wing tip meets the upper on one shoe. You can see that the tread is very lightly worn. Unfortunately, sizing up will result in shoes that are too long. As much as I want to support Wills, I really, really, really want to order a pair of shoes, which aren't exactly inexpensive, that hold together and hold up in general. The build-quality and quality-control really must be revisited.

Just received them yesterday. Very beautiful and very good quality, both inside and outside. The material seems robust but very comfortable to wear since the first moment, no need to break in. The size 43 fits perfectly. They crease very nice. Hope the aging will be just as satisfying.

Have another pair of WVS City Oxford and I'm very happy with them, although wearing them just for performing in the opera orchestra.

I bought boots rather than shoes to cover the ankles. Very comfortable and the brogue style was commented on favourably by others. Do not take any walking in. The fit was good. The sole seems quite substantial. I am happy with these. I also have a pair of Chelsea boots with the same sole which was a reason for purchasing these.

Boots are sturdy and appear of good quality however they are very narrow and the vegan leather very hard. I tried stretching them but they do not stretch like leather does and the material is less soft so can cut into your feet. Ended up having to give them away.

These boots are stunning. The craftsmanship that went into making this beautiful pair of boots is outstanding and all the materials used feel of good quality. The soles are sturdy and non slippery and I believe these will last a long time. The only issue I have is the sizing. I'm a woman with wide feet, who should be a uk ladies size 7, but I usually buy ladies size 8 and gents size 7 to accommodate my foot width. With these boots I have assumed that they would be gents sizes, so I have purchased a 7, however they do feel a little bit small and definitely narrow - it is so difficult to buy shoes online and not being able to compare two sizes at the same time, my regret is that I didn't realise this on trying them at home that I would be better with a bigger size and now I have worn them outside. I know real leather usually gives a little, but it is my first pair of vegan shoes and I will see if they behave similarly. I would recommend them, just wear them indoors for a little bit longer to see if the size is truly a good fit for you.
