These boots are honestly great! Comfy, lightweight, cute, functional, all you could ever want from a pair of combat boots. When I bought these, I was expecting the the cushioned insole to be like a cheap, $1 insole you could buy at the dollar store, but no. They are actually cushioned. I wore these during a Pokemon Go Community Day Event. I walked for two hours straight in these things. Normally, after two hours of walking, my feet hurt like crazy if I'm not wearing any sort of walking shoe, but these were actually not that bad. My feet were a bit sore, but nothing unmanageable. I'd had boots where after only an hour of wearing them they were unbearable! So, these were a nice relief.

The little pockets on the shoes are nice! They are just big enough to hold a couple of credit cards, a driver's license, and some petty cash. A house key would also fit, but probably not a car key, especially if its a newer car. The zipper can go all the way down, and I know this because that's how they were when I got them, but the pocket doesn't go all the way down. Just a tip, the zipper is easier to operate when the shoes are on. Although the zipper was a bit stiff at first.

I normally wear a women's 8-8.5 W, I bought the 8.5 for some insurance, and these pretty well fit. They were actually a bit big, but some tightening on the laces helped solve that problem. And the laces ARE incredibly long. I just tucked the excess into the flap. I 100% recommend these shoes. Cheap, cute, comfy, and functional. When I wear them, they make me feel like I wanna go on adventures like Lara Croft or a ragtag group of space rebels. But, for now, I guess I'll have to live with playing Pokemon Go in local parks.
