They are well made and have an awesome military inspired look. Took a few times to break them in, but once I did I find them to be very comfortable. The zipper on the side makes it easy to put on and take off. I am happy I bought them and got a great deal on the price. The Palladium label dates back to the punk rock days of the 80s and has withstood the test of time to become a boot that cam be worn in most casual settings. I wear them daily and receive many unsolicited compliments. Overall, they are a great pair of booth that I can wear hiking, dancing, or just for daily use. I recommend the Palladium label for its comfort and durability.
