Read through all the reviews. got nervous about buying these. did it anyhow and have to say, Damn you guys a bunch of whiny little pricks. Seriously these boots are awesome. They do NOT feel like "braces" that are "nearly two months worth of breaking in". As some of these people put. Everything about these are awesome. I have flat as all get out feet. I have to wear special arch support, but I was like "screw it" when these puppies arrived. walked about two miles that day in them. NO. PROBLEMS. The steel toe is sweet if you need to use. The buckles are in perfect condition after city use walking all around for miles. Grow a pair and buy these. They don't hurt at all! I walk everywhere for like miles and miles and they don't bother me at all. I love how they are already broken in. The soles are heavy duty. Very solid product. Will probably buy another pair in a different style for summer wear.

TL;DR Don't believe the reviews. These things break in fast and feel awesome. Plus they're pretty durable.
