I was worried the elastic side would feel flimsy, but it's leather-covered and holds its shape after weeks of wear. The leather lining keeps my feet from getting sweaty on longer walks, which I didn't expect from an ankle boot.

The suede in moka is that perfect soft taupe-brown that goes with everything, and the elastic side panel makes them so quick to pull on. I wore them all day the first time and the leather insole kept my feet comfortable.

The leather lining makes these comfortable enough to wear without socks, which I wasn't expecting from a boot this structured. The elastic side panel means I can actually pull them on in seconds instead of wrestling with a zipper.
