As a police officer it is very difficult to find footwear that is comfortable to wear for 10 hours a day mostly being on your feet. For looks, comfort and design these boots are sure to make you happy. I however do not recommend wearing these in vigorous, rough or heavy duty wear conditions as the shiny black coat will begin to haze. They are good for light duty use, daytime, office or special events and accent any polyester uniform well. And as stated they are comfortable!
