It's hard for me to find shoes to fit because my feet are so wide. These came in the extra wide size I need and it clears the top of my foot which is also high.

I like to wear boots like these year-round and these are a little too toasty when it's warm outside because they don't breath too well. It's not enough for me not to wear them, but I do with they were ventilated a little bit, but I suppose then they wouldn't be water proof. They're great in winter time.

The laces are strong and long.

The soles squeak a bit around the office. That may go away after they break in, and I don't really care anyway, but I thought you should know.

This is a good, tough, boot that's just nice enough that I can get away with wearing them in my "business casual" office and also be ready for the zombie apocalypse.

I would buy these again.
