Super comfortable boot right out of the box, a little loose but they are slip ons, I wear mine with rag wool socks in Florida in summer as its the only way my feet seem to be comfortable and cool. These boots are true all day long boots I typically put mine on about 0500 and take em off around 2230 everyday, I cant complain about much except for the fact that the soles (which are instrumental in making them comfortable) don't wear well, I have had mine for a little over 4 months and it looks like I need another pair. That said the leather has held up well everything from welding, marine construction cleaning out barn and stalls shop work you name it. The boot breaks in good and all though its not really important to me I get a lot of comments on my boots mostly good. Id give this boot 5 stars if the sole hung in there a bit longer or the price was a bit lower. Honestly though boots these days don't last as long as they did when I first started working in the late 70s. it seems like failure or degradation is built into  design, it just sucks that companies don't take pride in manufacturing a long lasting durable comfortable decent product anymore.
