My husband and I farm and I needed good work boots. These should be great. Very sturdy but also very comfortable with good toe room. Great fit - too many shoe manufacturers fail to make the heel narrow enough for a true narrow shoe but these are really good. Nice fleece lining so should be warm next fall when I'm in the combine for hours on end! Not sure why the nonfunctional zipper was added on the one side but oh, well. Anyway, great boots!
