I really, really like these boots. They're super comfortable for long walks, very nice looking and seem quite solid. If I could wear skirts everywhere, I'd live in them. (For most sizes of calf, there's enough room to tuck pants in if one wanted to do that, I just don't.)

My only quibble is that on one of my legs the boot tends to twist around so that the laces aren't straight, but that may well be the shape of my leg and the fact that the calves are a bit loose.
