These are a bit pricey but they are worth it. I have a lot of comparable shoes and these are my favorite. Initially the footbed may feel a little hard but the break-in period is short. The fit is true to size and the leather is soft and pliable. The insert features an ample arch support and is anatomically correct. These shoes are shaped closer to an actual foot than most shoes, which improves comfort especially at the little toe. These boots are referred to as 4-season footwear but they are not vented and do get warm in hot weather. I would say they`re more like 3-season shoes. In all, I am very pleased with my Finn Comfort Linz boots.
 UPDATE: I've owned my Finn Comfort Linz shoes for over a year now and they have traveled well over 2000 miles. These shoes are like fine wine and just seem to get better as time goes by. They are starting to show wear but I`ve found a company in Ca. (Nu-Shoe) that will restore them to new using genuine Finn Comfort soles and footbeds. In the meantime, I bought another pair so I won't have to spend a day without them.
