These are not top of the line, but they are nice for the price. The top is a bit floppy and loose, I did manage to bend a D-ring and have it pop off the top where it laces through. They are not highly cushioned on the insole. These would be terrible for a long hike, but good to shovel the driveway, go out to the store, go get the mail ect. They are my spare pair now, and they are nice and warm to wear at the desk as slippers too.
