I love boots. Even after reading all the positive reviews on these, I am surprised at how much i like them. The are comfortable, well made, and they look great. They stand out from all the cheap-trashy boots that are so popular these days. You'll need to get some waterproofing gunk on them ASAP. My only complaint (which is purely personal, and not the fault of the boot) is that the color is a bit odd to me. I'm used to wearing black boots/shoes and i'm just a little lost on wearing brown ones. I'll get over it--they're awesome. If you're on the fence about these boots (i stalked them for months) like i was, I'd go ahead and get em'.
