This is a very solid pair of boots. Fit is true to size and they are of decent quality. The only complaint I have is the laces are a bit cheap feeling, but those are easy enough to replace if it bothers you. Other than that the only negative comment I can give is that the suede leather inner layer around the opening of the shaft can get a bit frayed because it's not stitched or finished in any way. They are NOT water proof, so if you're looking for a boot that can handle puddles and snow then keep looking. With a warm pair of wool socks however they are very cozy even when it's freezing out. This is one of the only pairs of boots I've ever owned that was comfortable right out of the box, and they've only gotten better with more breaking in. Very easy to wear all day and walk in. If the quality of the leather was a bit better and the laces were higher quality it would get a 4/5 or even a 5/5, but even at 3 stars I would recommend this to anyone looking for a pair of boots that doesn't want to spend too much. At this price point it's hard to beat. If you want something better from Wolverine or Red Wing you'll have to spend $250-300 plus dollars.
