Okay, so I’ve been wearing these Skechers Dorton boots for a few weeks now, and here’s the tea: they’re actually pretty great for everyday wear. Super comfy right out of the box, which is rare for boots. The relaxed fit is *chef’s kiss*—no toe squishing, even with my slightly wide feet.

Style-wise, they’re versatile AF. I’ve paired them with jeans, chinos, even a casual blazer (don’t judge). The black faux-leather looks sleek, though the brown version seems softer based on reviews. Pro tip: size down ½ if you’re between sizes—my usual 9 fit like a 9.5.

Now, the not-so-perfect bits: the opening is TIGHT. Slip-on? More like *struggle-on*. I have to yank the pull tab every time. Also, traction on ice? Nah. They’ll send you sliding like Bambi. But for rain and light snow? Solid. Feet stayed dry during Portland’s moody weather, and the reinforced stitching feels durable.

Verdict: 8/10. Perfect for city life, but maybe keep ice spikes handy.
