Maybe I've been wearing steel toed boots for too long, but I'd swear these are some of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn!  I've not had them for long, but I sure like them so far!  These boots are every bit as comfortable as my 'tanny shoes'  I haven't yet had an opportunity to verify how weather-proof they are, so this is really a preliminary review; full review will be after some real time with them.
