This is the second pair of these boots for my husband.  I ordered the black 3 years ago for him to use primarily working around our ranch in the snow.  However, they proved to be so comfortable and lightweight, he uses them year-round.  They have held up incredibly well with some serious abuse.  He will now have a brown pair ready to take over.  They are well-made, sturdy, run true to size, and keep his feet warm in the cold.
