These boots are the best for the upland game hunting I do in the AZ desert.  I have worn many different boots and these are the most comfortable.  I have worn my first pair down to rags after three years of hunting the deserts.  I did have to reglue the soles after my first quail season and I would love it if they were sewn on instead of glued.  The uppers have held up through rough country and the side zipper makes getting them off and on simple.  These are light weight and comfortable and my feet do not sweat as much.  The wear very much like a sneaker and are relatively quiet over the crunchy desert soil.  They look cool too!!
