The boots looks great but I don't know about if it was sewn or just glued underneath. I can see from outside it is glued looks and materials great feels like genuine leather.. But one thing I don't like when I wear it right a way there is no padding underneath shoe. Your feet can feel the ridges and bumbs. I have to buy extra foot padding. It feels comfortable to wear . I wear size 9 eventhough I am size 8 just to make sure more room for thick socks.
