User Reviews
I really like the boots, the design is nice and they are comfortable. The only issue is their sizing, I usually wear a size 10 but for this boots I ordered a size 11 and they fit me quite well, consider this when buying them.
love these boots. Can’t beat the price. I have the brown and grey of these boots. Very well made. Really great looking leather. Very comfortable. I am really picky about footwear. These are extremely comfortable I wear them everyday. Great for yard work, walking, or even when I am out.
These boots are well built and I got them at a great price! They have a hefty sole, great stitching, and they are quite comfortable; although they could use some help in the heel and arch departments. Not only do these boots feel really well made they look good too. The boots do run a bit small and you can feel it in the toe box area but will work great as they break in! I previously had a pair of Colombia boots and they just did not hold up with working at carwash and they were much more expensive. I will update periodically about how they hold up.
Competitive boot, worn several weeks and stand up to best any day wish they came up with half size's the fit is snug...
SOLID pair of boots. They are extremely comfortable and waterproof
i already had the other two colors, this was the last one to add to my full collection--this is an excellent boot that feels like a heavy sneaker, excellent protection, waterproof, its just an all around excellent piece of foot wear
These are heavier than my usual boots and seem to get in the way when walking since the heels are wide but i think they will work just fine for my land clearing
Boots overall are good quality except for one thing, the lace hooks. Hooks are made of cheap pot metal and since one broke boots are now junk.
