I bought these as "stable" boots, thinking they could handle a lot of punishment - I was right! Water repellent, great in the mud, and the steel toe ensures my toes will never be crushed by any ill-placed hooves (: These took some time to break in, and were much roomier than my other Docs of the same size, but you want extra room with the steel toe anyway. Great heavy duty boots.

This is the third pair of these boots that I have bought in three years. Still wearing the second pair to work, new pair for casual. I am 59 years of age, and these are the only thing I have found to be comfortable to work on my feet all day. I wear them for hiking, cutting fire wood or the new pair to town. Lord willing, if I live as long as I hope, I will buy many more.
