Raul Gonzalez: I really wanted to love with these boots. They're a beautiful looking pair of boots. The leather is great quality and has already begun to patina nicely. My biggest gripe is the fit. I ordered a half size down as recommended and found them to be way too tight. I then ordered my normal size and they're far too loose. They're also quite heavy. I wear them to work and they become pretty uncomfortable by the end of the day. The shoelaces could have been a bit nicer but that's a nitpick. If the company figures out the sizing issue and stops making them in CHINA these would be some of the best boots you could buy especially for the money.
One last minor issue is that I ordered them in brown which I assumed would be the dark brown, but I believe I was sent the "fudge" color which are a bit lighter in color, and more reddish/clay colored. Despite that they're still a very sharp looking pair of boots. I'll continue to wear them and hope that the fit improves over time.

Nat Stahl: This is an exceptionally well-made boot for the money. The leather uppers are strong and supple, and the soles are very supportive thanks to the crepe outsole and steel shank. They feel like slippers.

Other reviewers are complaining about the soles wearing out, lack of gusseted tongue, lack of speed hooks, etc. You have to understand, this boot is a replica of WWII Boondocks trench combat boots. Assuming those didn't have speed hooks or gussets either, nice though that would be. As for the tread pattern smoothing out - these are not really designed to be worn on city streets day after day. Soldiers in WWII needed boots for unpaved terrain. I wear these for yard work, disc golf, and anything that isn't city walking, which is most of my life in suburban Florida. If you manage your expectations, these are an incredible buy - they're just not for all situations.

Anonymous: Good looking boot. Seems to be of good quality particularly for the price but much too large. Recommend ordering 1 size smaller.

Mcaughey: So a while back I was looking to get into heritage style footwear and since I had a brown pair of boots from another company I felt I needed a black pair to have as an alternative for such occasions or when I wanted to wear a black pair of shoes. Not having the money for a Thursday captain or a Georgia small batch ( the Georgia didn’t offer a narrow width either) I wanted something affordable but heritage style in a narrow width ( yes I can wear a 1966 vintage jungle boot in a narrow width). I got the golden fox boots not knowing what to expect, so I tried them on one Thursday night ( I typically go out Friday or Saturday evenings). Loved them right away, didn’t look like the padding would do the job but it did, that padding combined with the softer rubber sole produced a boot that didn’t beat my foot up, didn’t hurt after walking or standing for an extended period. As I only wear them on the weekends currently I suspect they’ll hold up for a while ( as most shoes that see wear that seldom should). The tread pattern does have some wear after a few months but they broke in very fast and are holding up well. The laces stay tied and they don’t fall off. My foot does not...

martin cormier: These boots are fantastic for the money and I am pretty happy with the purchase, HOWEVER, they do not have crepe soles as advertised. Instead they have a more standard hard rubber sole with a molded crepe-like texture. They do not have the softness or spring of a true crepe sole. I don't know if that is dishonest marketing or just an error but it has marred an otherwise happy transaction.
