Since I purchased these "Chukka's" I have been VERY pleased with the comfort & their "lightness" feeeling on my feet. These remind me of the Hush Puppies I wore in High School back in the sixties. The well constructed soles make the difference in support & the eventual longevity of the boot itself. The suade boot is sooo soft & easy to clean. Looks great!!! These boots are now my favorite for "kick-around" with my jeans. I placed some orthotics in for support as well. Highly recommend! Thank you Hush Puppies for maintaining the standard that I knew you put forth back in the day.
