I really wanted to like these boots but I just couldn't. The first problem was that I ordered a 9.5 R. The box was labeled as such,the boots in the box were a 10 EE. The second problem was a personal thing for me. There was so much padding around the heel and up to the boot top I don't see how it was breathable. I prefer just canvas/leather type uppers. The seller had no control over either problem and the return process was easy and painless
