I admit it I was skeptical of the quality but decided to take a chance. I'm a big guy who wears a 14 EEEE and I'm on my feet all day. I've tried a lot of shoes and boots but most left my feet killing me by the end of the day. When these arrived the build quality was o.k and the fit was fine. I wore these for over a week all day at work before writing this review in order to give a real perspective of the fit and comfort of these boots. I'm extremely hard to please but I'm happy to report that these are some of the most comfortable boots I've had the pleasure to wear in a long time! I'm not kidding I get home at night and no more sore feet! I really like the looks of the boots as well and the 70 dollar price tag I paid is another big plus! I'm thinking of buying a spare pair of these jems just to have a back-up. If you suffer from feet pain and are looking for a boot to help give these a try I don't think you'll be disappointed
