Solid build boot. Comfortable, but certainly not a lasting feeling if you're wearing these for more than 5 hours. Does require a break-in period, but when you reach that point, you will feel the comfort. Looks like a hiking boot, but not going to win any fashion awards (hahaha!). Then again, you're protecting your foot from injury, so rest assured you'll be protected in the field. The lacing system is great and comes with quality laces that have yet to rip. Easy to clean, but in my opinion, dirt adds a bit of character to the shoes. For the cost, I feel like I have a quality boot that will last for years to come. This is definite a good investment and a go in my opinion.
