User Reviews
I’m very happy with the boot. I find it a little larger than my other size 11 boots. Not a big deal. Could be that they are 6” (high) and all my other boots are generally 8”. All in all, I’m very happy with the boot. Definitely darker than I thought they’d be, but they’re wearing nicely. I would buy them again......as of a few weeks of wearing them.
These boots have held up great. I am a flooring contractor and I wear out the front toe of my boots quickly. These are holding up great months later. They have a good sized toe box as well and aren’t too snug.
My husband loves these boots and wears them all the time. He has some back, leg and feet problems and these are comfortable for him. We live in a state where it is cold and has lots of snow and these are perfect. Good price, Good product.
A great lightweight boot that is as comfortable as a sneaker. This boot is comfortable day 1, out of the box. It requires no break in time. My legs were perennially sore & tired. I wish I had purchased these sooner. They look great too. This color is even nicer in person. The best $ for $ purchase I've made in a long time. I highly recommend.
This is my second pair of these boots. I like them. Comfortable after very little breakin and I wear them everywhere. The sole is very durable; the first pair lasted a long time walking on asphalt. The stitching around the moc-toe is a weak point. The thread on the new pair is already showing some fraying after only a month of wear. This is the same area that failed on my first pair. But the first pair lasted until the soles were worn smooth, which was well over a year.
Extremely comfortable. You forget about weight of solidly constructed materials as your feet are absorbed by cushioning. Stylish enough that I wore them all winter before demoting them to work wear. Definitely recommended.
3rd pair of these boots. Barstow model rocks. These work well with surefeet orthotics. Last pair tongue would not stay centered- should have sent back but no prob this pair. Get a little over a year typically out of these.
Great shoes
