I read several very strong reviews about these boots before I bought them.  All I can say is that I made the best decision I have ever made about a shoe.  I love these boots! they look good, they feel good, and they are good. I wear them everywhere work, hiking, shopping, dinner, I don't want to take them off unless I have too.  They cool better than most hiking boots and regular shoes. My feet stay comfortable if its 80 degrees outside. I also where them when its in the 20's and no problem with them getting cold either. There just flat out amazing boots. I have other boots that are just as expensive for winter hunting but I dare not put them on if it is warmer than 34 degrees. These Teva Riva leather hiking boots are top notch. Get um...
