These boots are without a doubt the best boots I have ever worn. They are comfortable and stylish. They are my second pair bought. The price is great considering they are $180 at timberland. When I originally bought my first pair they were $160 but have become instant classics since, thus hiking up the price. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars was because my first pair worn off very quickly from the soles (recycled) and the boot tongue stitch came off(same as pic) a few months after purchase and I had to get it stitch back. I reside in Chicago and they have been through storms and snow blizzards. I will repost a review for the second pair.
