THIS BRAND HAS BEEN AROUND OVER 50 YEARS I WAS VERY GLAD TO FIND IT. I PAID MORE BACK THEN. THE QUALITY IS STILL GREAT. i WILL BUY SHOES NEXT. I TRIED BOOTS ON 1 MONTH BEFORE VACATION, THOUGHT I WOULD BREAK THEM IN, NO NEED. FELT PERFECT. HOWEVER HEAL IS TO LOW. TOOK THEM TO THE GUY, 20 DOLLARS 1/2 IN TO LOW. DIDNT MIND AT ALL. NICE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT STILL HAS GREAT QUALITY AN PRICE  THANKS)
