I gave these boots to my husband for Christmas and he said he likes everything about them. They are easy to get on and off (some tall boots he has tried in the past are very narrow in the ankle area...creates a suction when you try to remove them). Nice stable sole with good traction. The toes are reinforced - at first he thought they were steel toe (they are not). The neoprene gives a close fit in the calf area - preventing rocks/leaves/twigs/manure/etc. from getting caught in the top of the boots. Noy heavy or clunky to walk in. Really....best boots ever!
