This is my second pair and they are a good fit right out of the box.  The finish is durable and takes lots of snow and slush punishment with just a brush to keep them clean.  The tread is very useful in winter climes and it wears extremely long.  One can be comfortable walking on otherwise slippery surfaces.  Good for those of us not always too sure on our feet.  Because it is an aggressive tread it takes some effort sometimes to cleanpacked snow or mud out of them.  Great color for khaki and brown slacks.  Very light and one can walk or stand for long periods of time without discomfort.
