These boots are amazing. They have cool see-through rubbery soles that are super quiet on hard wood floors. The metal buckles and all together quality of the boot is durable and amazing. My husband put them on and wore them around the house for an hour not wanting to take them off. (EDIT: He has now worn them for several days and says they are the most comfortable boots he has ever owned) He says they are extremely comfortable and the ankle support is very nice. And they look awesome! He plans on using them while riding his motorcycle and then in a year or so using them for his wasteland costume. We are very happy with our purchase!
