I needed this boot after I broke my left foot and currently need to walk with an ankle brace inside my shoe.  This shoe will accomodate my brace and I still feel comfortable walking.  I absolutely love this shoe! The leather is superior, durable and polished! It is not too bulky and heavy, and I don't get foot fatigued while I'm wearing them, or at the end of my day. The moisture-wicking material lining the shoe does the job and my feet don't transfer any odor to the shoe because it helps keep my feet from over-sweating. The double removeable insole is an added comfort--it accomodates my custom orthotic as well as my brace on my left foot when I remove one of the layers.  The outsole (bottome of shoe) has excellent traction on dry or wet pavements so I'm not afraid to wear these during the winter months. This is an excellent product and I recommend it.
