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.
