I bought these boots for my 26 year old son. I was worried that he wouldn't like the color but it didn't matter. As soon as he put the boots on he loved them. He is a glazer in the construction field and spends most of his time on his feet. As soon as I read that the boots were made by "New Balance" I knew they would not be the typical uncomfortable workboot. My son is extremely happy with these boots. He said that the name on the boot (Cloud) says it all. He feels like he's walking on clouds. Excellent product. I would recommend them to all.
