What a fantastic boot!  I realize style is in the eye of the beholder but in my eyes they are a incredibly stylish boot.  I originally purchased these as a work boot but now find myself wearing them every opportunity I have.  They go great with jeans and the work welt provides more than adequate traction.  I've not fully tested the waterproof abilities of the boot but in the limited water they have been exposed to they have held up great.  Now on to the most important aspect - comfort.  These boots are as comfortable as any lace up hiking boot I have.  I'm not saying I would take them on a long hike by any means but for everyday wear they are great.  Couldn't be happier!
