I will echo the opinions of many in saying that this is a comfortable boot of reasonable quality for the price paid.  The suede leather on the uppers is a bit thin, likely contributing along with the rubber soles in the comfort department.  The boots truly run a size large; you will likely want to use a soft insole, as the insoles on the boot were a bit hard to me.  Zippers are easy to use.  All said, a comfortable boot at a good price, but I won't expect the longevity of a $165 pair of Altamas.
