I rated this item 5 stars because these boots are of great quality. In addition to that, they're comfortable. I have no problems wearing them all day. Ive only had them for about a week so they're still a little stiff yet, but thats diminishing with every wear. I like the fact that they look good with jeans, so I can wear them for casual events. Theyre also tough enough for sloppy mud and yard work. They seem to be the do it all boot. I hope that the out-sole gives me at least 3 years or more, since I do a lot of walking on concrete. Only time will tell.
