So heres the deal: Im not gonna try telling you that they are light and fluffy as my L.L.Bean slippers. Cause they aint. But Ive been wearing pretty much nothing but either Chippewa or Carolina boots for the last 25 years. And compared to those, these are pretty darn light.
I think the best way to put it is they're like a cross between a work boot and a hiking shoe. They have good support and the composite toe is solid and comforting. Yet they still feel light and flexible like a hiker. The tread is more like a work boot, grippy and solid as well.
Really stiff at first but they break in quickly.
I was somewhat skeptical about the sage color at first but now I really dig it. Goes well with jeans or khakis.
Only complaint I can really b*tch about is the lack of a pull tab on the back. Would make pulling them on a heck of a lot easier. Especially when they're new and still really stiff. I still love me some good old Chippewas but I have severe nerve damage in my legs and just cant wear them anymore. These are definitely my new go tos. Made in Vietnam . Oh, almost forgot, Kiwi boot protector-awesome stuff. Use it.
Highly recommend. Thanks for reading
