THE BEST BEATLE BOOTS AROUND, April 9, 2009
This review is from: Giorgio Brutini Men's 80575 Dress Boot (Apparel)
Have looked and looked for years to find a reasonable source for Beatle boots, these boots are right in the style of brit invasion, thay are air light,very,very comfortable, the price is reasonable, and the grade of kid leather good, only draw back is that these boots if worn daily will wear out fairly quickly. but worth a new pair. After wearing my first pair a few days ORDERED a second pair so as not to be without.

Brutini Dress Boot, November 9, 2006
Overall, this is a nice boot. There are two items or issues that I would advise other buyers to consider when buying Giorgio Brutini Boots.
First, consider the fact that these boots are manufactured in Europe (Italy) so they are made in a more "slender" fashion. Therefore, when purchasing this type of boots, you should order a 1/2 (half) size larger than the size you normally wear. This is especially true if you wear "Over the Calf" or thicker type socks with boots, as I do.
Second, I've also owned and worn Brutini loafer style shoes and, as with the boots, the sole of this brand of footwear is quite thin. Within about six months, my shoes already had a hole worn through the sole in the area of the shoe that the "ball" of your foot contacts the pavement.
In closing, I want to add that my experience with amazon.com, as far as, the ordering, shipping, etc. was excellent and I'll continue to use amazon.com for future online purchases.

Nice Beatles boots, the right style and the right price, a little baggy, March 13, 2011
This review is from: Giorgio Brutini Men's 80575 Dress Boot (Apparel)
If you are looking for Beatles boots, these are it. They are the right look and the right price. There is probably some variance in the boots that the Beatles wore. With all the miles they put in, you know they had to go through a lot of boots and they probably didn't get the same ones every time. The classic Beatles boot is a modified "Chelsea" boot, which is an English working boot style (the modification is adding the flamenco high heel). They had a seam down the middle to the toe. These do not have that seam, so they might not qualify as a classic Beatles boot in some books.
They do, however, have a nice high flamenco style heel, which is really what gives the Beatle boot most of its distinctive look. The leather is nice and soft and they are comfortable to wear. I feel dressy and flashy when I have them on.
Look other fine European shoe-wear I've owned, these boots feature a thin, refined looking, leather sole. I have found, on all my fine shoes, it doesn't take a lot of miles to wear a hole in such soles. That's just the price for high fashion.
I also found nice Beatles boots at a local DSW shoestore, but at over 3 times the price of these.
I'm satisfied with these, but do be aware that when worn they sag and bag. I think I've seen pictures of the Beatles where their boots are also sagging and bagging. I have a finicky friend that will not accept footwear that bags, so if you're like him these may not be for you.
