Wore these the first time in Colorado....in the snow. Wasn't planning on that, but none-the-less, I found myself on top of a mountain in these bad boys. They worked, looked, felt....great! Easy to walk in, great tread on the bottom, doesn't make a loud clicking noise at you walk, and look great dressed up or dressed down. Such a versatile boot. Wore them for over 10 hours the first day I had them (in Colorado, up on a mountain, down in Breckenridge...all over the dang place!). After 10 hours...my feet started hurting....but 10 hours! Wow! Made of real leather...you can smell it right out of the box. Great product! (Oh and I'm 5'3 and these come right up to the base of my knee...exactly where I wanted them).
