For cheap hunting boots, these fit very well right out of the box. No break in needed! Since they are fairly inexpensive, they come with minor quality issues like the glue from the sole has come out during the manufacturing process. Not the greatest materials used to make the boots, but that is why they are much cheaper than boots that cost three times as much. The real test will come next weekend on a hunting trip in Arizona, so a follow-up review will be done after the hunt.
