I give 5 stars to these boots because they cover many areas.
They are super comfortable, the leather is thick while the style can still be a bit dressy. They are cool without being heavy or bulky. I walked around New York City all day first time I wore them without any blisters, no break down except that I did some squats at home before leaving to soften them a bit. They are true to size and they will hold up well in the city. Best lace up boots I have seen and tried around, Rockport bettered their classic lace up, love the Adiprene on sole, safe and strong beautiful boots; being water proof, they rock! one thing I need to say is that because they are made of leather I wouldn't buy anymore preferring vegan alternatives that use no animal suffering and killing.
