I can't say enough good things about these boots. They were incredibly comfortable from the moment I put them on. They are also very well-constructed, and the velcro at the ankle lets me cinch them nice and snugly. The elastic laces are snug without being too snug.

I have been doing heavy yard work, and they are perfect. No more ankle-turning on the slight downslope in my yard. I can wear them for hours and my feet do not hurt. I am not diabetic, but my feet always let me know when a shoe's fit is less-than-optimal.

If you are also female and have a wide foot, consider buying these (sizes go as low as a men's 6, which is equivalent to a women's 7.5). I have had good luck buying men's sneakers in the past, so I took a chance and ordered the B/D width, which is not a wide width for men. But because men's feet are wider, these are perfect for women with wide feet. I know there is a women's version of this boot, but I couldn't decide which width to buy. Then I had the aha! about the men's version. And I am happy, happy, happy with them. I will probably buy a second pair of them because I like them so much.
