Just a note- those boots are an amazing grab at that price. I've had a pair i've worn daily at faires, parades and more for going on 7 years now. They need new soles as the default ones wore away long ago (but working security, I routinely walked 10 miles a day circling the ground) but they are still amazingly comfy. The laces can be a bit of a struggle to get just right, but at $60, you really can't go wrong.

I also have a pair of these boots. Walked around all day at the Ren Faire with them last year and was very pleased. Got a couple of compliments on them too.
Few things I would note:
The not-so good Soles are (very) slick leather with a tiny rubber "heel" (not really a heel. Just a slice of rubber where the heel would be). Beware on damp surfaces! Or smooth surfaces! Especially smooth and damp surfaces!
Not very durable material. Thin suede tears easily.
Not historical for those that care.
The good Looks good.
Comfortable (once broken in).
$60 is a good price for these.
The neither good nor bad They run a little small as they are a narrow cut. I would recommend one size up. If you are normally a 9 go with a 10. If you are an 8 1/2 go with a 9. They come in only whole sizes.

Get one of these if you don't have one yet. They are awesome little cleavers which are built like a brick sh*thouse with solid construction and nice heft in the hand. I laid a razor sharp edge on mine in about 10 minutes.
