I have worn plenty of boots over the years, some really comfortable (Bates, Clark, Fry, you name it).  Most of all my boots have been pretty comfortable, but these are by far and away the top of a very good bunch.  I bought them because they were tall enough to not bend over too far, but i could not not be happier with how they look (sweet lookin flag!) that is mostly covered when walking, but peeks out when sitting, and the width is right on, couldn't be happier with my purchase, would do it again with the price twice as much if not more. one of the best finds on amazon.
