Leather Pull-on Chelsea Boots

The first pair I bought were noticeably mismatched colours and completely different suede naps. One boot was very course short suede and the other long and soft. They also arrived with some scores in the suede. The second pair I bought were a lot lighter in colour than both shades of the first, almost a sand colour instead of tan. Both shoes were fairly even in colour and nap, however, the right boot is at least a half size smaller than the previous pair. That boot unfortunately being borderline too small and definitely small for a size 8 in general. Again arrived with scores in similar areas so it must be from machinery used during manufacture. The overall quality of the boot is okay-ish, nothing to write home about, nice to have a blake stitch sole so it can be replaced in the future if desired. Overall, probably not worth the money, at least at full price. I'd expect a bit better quality all round in terms of materials and care taken, especially on consistency and quality control front. It seems like a lucky dip as to the quality of what you receive. I will be keeping the second pair as I cannot be bothered with the hassle of returning again and rolling the dice on ordering a 3rd pair to possibly have more defects.

Comfy and I think better than the M&S own label ones (but they are more expensive). However, they both suffer from the pull-on tag at the back of the boots being made far too small for my fingers which is frustrating when the boots are new, but when the leather loosens, it becomes less of an issue.
