This is fast becoming my go-to boot when I can wear jeans. I liked the look and and so did my friends. Where I travel I have yet to see another pair like it and because I wear the tan Timberland work boot at work, I thought this would be a nice stylish choice for non-work events. It not only holds up to urban and city treks, but they have been very comfortable with an sole-insert on my all-day hiking trips.
