I really like these boots. They're stylish and comfortable. I can wear to work and not look like I just stepped out of the woods. I've worn these on a 10 mile hike and they did not disappoint in terms of performance. The only complaint I have is that they're not really breathable and your feet tend to feel a little swampy if you're doing a lot of walking. I attribute this to the waterproof membrane, which works great by the way. So, you're taking the good with the bad. If these boots used Gore-Tex or some other high tech material for waterproofing, they'd probably be north of $300. For the price, they're a really nice boot.
