I am one of those guys that loves to wear a boot.  Shoes just don't offer ankle support.  I can even feel the draft on my ankles when a wind blows.  But obviously, you can't wear your jungle boots everywhere.

That's where these shoes come in.  They bridge the gap between a dress shoe and a boot.  All the features of a dressy pair of shoes, but coupled with a boot shaft for protection and support.  With these, there is less of a need to think about which socks to wear.
