I have owned close to 5 pairs of these boots. I wear them at work where I spend on average 10 hours a day on my feet. People comment how I can wear such a heavy boot for so long and in hot weather but the comforst and support is better than any shoe I have ever tried. At $100.00 a pair these boots go thru the cycle of work shoe, where they look awesome once polished, then once they have been scuffed and worn usually about a year of upper midwest weather. They then go to my work,hiking, fishing shoe. By this time they are more comfortable than a gym shoe, warm but breathable and waterproof. I used to buy Knapp ATV boots and use them the same way until they started making them in china then they were junk. These unfortunately are not made in the USA either.
Tho only problem I have ever had was with my latest purchase where the shoelace grommetts were not properly seated causing the laces to shred. i am sure I could have sent them back but decided to keep them and fix myself. If you know someone that spends alot of time on thier feet and needs great support these are the boots !
