Kenton suede pacer boots

I'd been looking at this boot on line for a while and after reading the reviews I decided to take a chance. I'm always nervous about ordering shoes/boots because sizing can be really off but the reviews said they were on point size wise. They were. They fit beautifully and have been comfortable from day one of wearing with no break in time. The color is a rich deep navy and they'll go beautifully with anything I put them with. Who knew blue suede boots would be a thing? I know now, lol.

I have a 3-4 year-old pair of brown Kenton suede Pacer boots that I’ve gotten more compliments on than anything else in my wardrobe. I assumed this was the same boot, but it is slightly different, if (almost) equally good—it’s definitely a half-inch wider now, so slightly less elegant, and slightly less well-fitting for my narrow foot. Also now has a large pull loop and is slightly taller. Like the previous version, high quality construction all around. Also, very comfortable straight out of the box. I purchased both pair in my sneaker size, and the length is perfect. In that regard, I understand why another reviewer found these cut short and suggested going up a half-size, but perhaps from your dress shoe size, if that’s typically smaller than your sneaker size.

Suede quality is very good, vibram soles have a great grip and traction, true to size, a bit wider than the round nose model in brown color. Also, the rim around is stiff and a bit like a bumper car, but even with that,if you remove the pull loop on the back, they can fit nicely under chinos, etc. The loop is very handy, but not with a slim fit pants. Also, sole is a bit too square for my taste, and tongue moves to the side, so you need to cut and pull the laces through. The color is very nice and if you get these on sale, satisfaction guaranteed.

This is a great boot, a true Navy Blue which is hard to find. It is cut a half size small so if you plan to wear a medium weight sock or an insole definitely go up a half size. Other than that this is a perfect boot especially at half price.
