Most work boots in this category are significantly more expensive.  As I was looking for a weekend workboot, not an everyday job work boot, I decided to try the Golden Retriever boots.  I'm always a little apprehensive when ordering footwear online, as everyone's foot is different, and what is comfortable for one person in a shoe size, is not always comfortable for another person in the same size.  I must admit, though, I was completely satisfied.  I find these boots very comfortable.  The fit is excellent, and they look good on.
