Solid and stylish, they are tough like a utility boot yet sophisticated enough for urban wear. Very easy to get on and off. The outsole is grippy. The "light tan" color has rich hue and is less red than the photos. Haft circumference is a bit oversized, and I would have preferred a slightly higher instep and a dressier, tapered square toe. Overall, I expect these to be everyday boots that will last for years.
***Revised*** So I wore them the other day for more than just a couple hours... nothing active at all, just driving, walking around a grocery store, working at a desk. Going to take them off, I saw that one of the zippers had separated in two places. After much struggling I managed to remove the boot and get the zipper to remesh, but some of the teeth are now crooked. This is a brass zipper, not plastic! I bought them cheap at an auction site, otherwise I'd be raising h*** with the merchant.
