Excellent CHINA product. It fits as expected. Color as expected. Smells like leather, talks like leather, I think it's real leather. It's from China thought, so I'm not sure how much is leather and how much is man-made product. It makes noises when you walk, which made me believe it's real leather that needs to be loosened or worn. I wrote this review the same day I received it. I hope I made a good selection. I'm not fan of a zipper boots but I guess if you treat the zipper nicely it will last. I recommend it, I don't see any issue with the product.Like many of us in Amazon, I did my research and I selected this one based on the description and reviews.
