I got these boots for my husband who is constantly out on job sites, walking through who-knows-what, and also climbing ladders and poles.  He has worn the same two pairs of boots from when he was military for the past 4 years!  So, although I was very skeptical and worried that he wouldn't like them, I got these boots.  Surprise!!  He loves them!  He says they are extremely comfortable, supportive, and he really likes the color and texture of the leather.  Great boots!  Thanks!
