I could swear to you that I was born wearing this pair of Ecco Men's Turn GTS Boot, but my mother would tell you otherwise. This boot is perfectly constructed, soft and pliable, easy to tie, comfortable to walk in, and looks great with jeans or Dockers or slacks. I take excellent care of my clothing and these boots will last me at least a couple of years. I'm now patiently waiting to purchase a brown pair as soon as they restock my size.
