***Quick update, this review was written when these boots were on sale for an unbelievably low price, so buy accordingly...***

Wow, you really can't beat the price of these and they're actually a very nice and comfortable shoe. I'm usually more of a dress shoe kind of guy, but needed something for long city walks or the occasional day out hiking and these totally fit the bill.

First off, they look great either worn with jeans or some thick socks and walking shorts. They run true to size, but aren't so tight as to prevent the use of sole inserts if you prefer them. I spent the entire day in these walking around the hills of San Francisco without one problem. I didn't even have to break them in as they felt good and remained comfortable all day. I am quite impressed with these.

If you are a hard core mountain hiker these may seem a bit basic for you, but as an everyday walking or occasional trek in the woods these are perfect. The mid-height top gives excellent ankle support and the soles provide great grip while still imparting exceptional comfort. I have nothing negative to say about these shoes whatsoever. I think I'll buy a second pair before they run out of stock and I wear out the ones I have.
