This boot has high reviews from others, but having had these boots for 3 months they are not performing as I hoped. I bought these to replace my Bates - and these are definitely not a equal trade for Bates. 1. The thick rubber sole is heavy. I thought it would provide more cushion, but all it does is add weight to the boot. 2. I usually wear a 10D, I bought a 9.5D wanting some room in the toes. The toe box is fine, but the fit around the heal is loose. My heal slides (despite how much I tighten the boots) and my socks are getting worn out in the heal. 3. The construction of the boots digs into my outer ankle bone.
I live overseas and unfortunately got these in the mail the day before I left to return over seas, and thought they would be OK. If I could have I would have returned them for my money back. Pricey purchase that is spending more time taking up room on my shelf.

Best boot I have ever worn. I wear these boots on the farm year around. Have very little trouble in cold weather. Would recommend waterproofing them or buy a waterproof boot.

This is an AMAZING boot. Excellent quality and perfect for warmer and hot weather. Will keep your feet cool and comfortable on hot days. Very comfortable so you can be on your feet all day. Highly recommend this boot.
