The wifey got me these as an early xmas gift, I wore them to her xmas party and ended up drinking too much. I ended up dancing and doing stuff that I should've not done....long story short I ended up walking home, no joke it was about 20-25 miles. When you're drunk nothing phases you, well after i got home from my 7 hour trek (San Antonio) I noticed i had no blisters or hotspots on my feet...i love these boots, I wear them everytime i going to drink since i might be walking home all night....GET THEM!!!!!
