It met my expectation. Very pleased . Just wish it was a ClarksI had this chukka boots in the favorite list late last year of 2019, planning on buying a few different colors. However, they were no longer available after I checked for them later.While searching to buy a different chukka boot, this shoe came up and I quickly purchased it after asking a question regarding size. I'm glad I purchased it because these orange boots look amazing and feel nice on my feet. Nonetheless, the pair that I received looks like it was worn: the right shoe looks new, while the left looks like it was worn due to some stains. There are also some inconsistencies in the orange-coated painting. For the most part, it is orange throughout; however, in some areas (on the base of the shoe), a lighter color orange is clearly visible.Moreover, the traction of the boots is semi-problematic; gripping is definitely an issue. I tested walking with them on floor tiles and it was very slippery. I haven't tested them on concrete or wood flooring, but I assume they will be okay when walking on those flooring.Now, I'll focus on the packaging. The packaging of these chukka boots was careless and horrendous. I received the shoe in a flimsy poly mailer with Amazon's logo on it, causing the shoe box to be ruined and battered. In other words, the packaging was pure trash. For a shoe that looks so nice and classy to be placed in a flimsy package as if it were a slipper is beyond comprehension. I've purchased a plethora of shoes online and I cannot remember one time receiving a shoe in a poly mailer -- because they all were shipped in a BOX.Again, these boots look gorgeously amazing and feels nice when worn. I was deciding on returning them because the left one looks worn, but I won't even waste my time. I was also planning on buying a few pairs, but after receiving one pair with a couple of issues (regarding being worn and a slippery sole), I doubt that I'll buy another pair of a different color.That being said, would I recommend these chukka boots? Yes, I would because they look great and there are very few chukka boot manufacturers -- besides Clarks -- that offer a variety of colors to pick from. However, keep in mind of the issues that were stated herein, especially the lack of traction/gripping on tiles. This chukka boot would have been flawless if it were made with a non-slip sole and the orange painting were properly coated throughout.Work comfortable shoe on my footNice boots, sole had white spots on them when they arrived, also soles are super slick almost like flat skates.....see if I can scuff them up and see if that helps.....overall without wearing them out the house 7 out of 10.I purchased these for my husband. He loves them. He says that they are the most comfortable shoes. People give him complements all the time on how stylish they are. He has very color except blue.The cream colored shoes are significantly lighter in color than expected or shown in display. When i pulled them out of the box i initially thought they were white! While disappointed that the color wasnt really what i was expecting it to be, so that cost the product a star. I am happy with the actual lighter color because i have been looking for the actual color moc in leather for a very long time. So ill be able to make the best of the unexpected. Also purchased the blue pair, they are VERY candy colored super glossed royal blue. Cannot yet speak to the durability of the product, the claim of these being genuine leather is highly questionable. Will say that they are pretty comfortable at first wear. Fit is good, maybe a smidgeon longer than sized. Sole is kind of slippery on carpet at first wear. Both pairs purchased have a noticeable strong & noticeable chemical odor that have yet to dissipate. Purchased both pairs months ago w/ very limited usage, and the odor is winning. I have been keeping the shoes stored in original box when not in use so prob about time to consider allowing to air out outside of the packaging & see what happensLove itSo far, I'm pleased with the shoe, it fits well, is versatile and good-looking.Great
