A very good boot

After reading prior reviews I bought these 1/2 size smaller than I usually wear and the fit was perfect. These are a very good, well made boot and they should last anyone a long time in medium duty hiking and working. They are not a true heavyweight boot but for most people they will last and serve very well. The leather is thick and tough but the laces aren't up to the job. A new pair of round nylon laces work much better. The only major flaw is the lack of a secure, snugging hook at the end of the eyelets to lock in the foot lacing so you are able to secure the shaft lacing in a different tension. All in all, a decent, durable boot for most tasks.

Boot takes a bit of break in about the ankles. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Otherwise, it's a beautiful boot, well-constructed, sturdy soled, excellent materials. I haven't done any long hikes yet. Nevertheless, these appear to be superior to any other backpacking boots that I've worn.

This is my second pair of these boots and I will continue to buy them as long as they continue to built them at equal quality ! The tread wear it many times greater than there competition, the leather is thicker and sturdier than all the competition and they have never developed water leaks. You know when you put these boots on your feet that they are well protected and that your feet are well supported! The only thing lacking is just a little more arch support! I use arch support inserts and they allow me to stand on hard surfaces 16 hours a day if needed, without suffering back pain or heel and foot pain!
Wears this shoe: on concrete floor and commercial rooftops !
Perfect!

This is the 4th pair of this shoe I have purchased. All I can say is that it works for me. I wear them every day for almost 2 years before I need a new pair.

Love 'em so far

I bought these boots to do some backpacking this summer. I have been wearing them around to break them in. Frankly they fit quite well out of the box and are quite comfortable also. I was worried about them being too hot and I haven't felt that they were too hot so far. I have gone on a few short hikes and have loved the stability and the fit. They provide a nice stiff base with the comfort that I expected. I have no complaints whatsoever.
Wears this shoe: daily for break in, short hikes so far.
