The boots I ordered were described as genuine leather. They are not. They are synthetic and just stink. Though they look nice, I believed I was ordering a pair of leather boots, not a pair of stinky pleather boots. The company says it's in Portugal, which is another reason I believed the boots would be as described. Interestingly, and not surprisingly now that the boots have arrived, they ship out of China.
Wish I'd checked reviews first.
