I got a pair of these a couple years and they were one of the best light boots I've ever owned. AN avid walker, I probably put 10 miles a week or more on them. I still have them. I had to put a new sole on after about 2 years and when I found them almost $50 cheaper on Amazon than in the store, I went for a new pair. I figured I could spend $40 on a shoe that lasts 6-10 months or spend a little over $80 for one that will last years and I know fits my foot. (Size 10).
