These shoes are well made. I'm very tough on garden shoes. I wear them every time I go out the door. They are comfortable. I got a half size larger than my regular size and they fit perfectly. I have a pair of bogs mid-calf boots and they are great too. They both have good arch support and are easy to clean. My feet stay dry and comfortable all day long. The boots are also very warm in the winter. Great products. I am in my 60's and garden a lot.
