I work in law enforcement and have been through the gamut of boots...danner, 511, rocky...and thought these looked good.  Well the fit is true, and much better than the huge toe box of the 5.11's and very soft.  The soles are even softer and more comfortable then the Danners I have had, which is impressive.  The problem with these are the heels.  The heel plate digs into the back of my heel something fierce. If I had to walk a lot (more than just a few traffic stops) in these my heels would be raw and bleeding.

Maybe a better winter boot since your socks will be thicker, but they are not insulated.  Would send them back but I polished and shined them before wearing.
