Per my husband with my comments in parentheses:Look really good. (Nice leather, matte finish, dressy cut, padded ankle that doesn't rub, well made, good stitching)Non slip ridges on sole provide good grip. (He lives in hiking boots, so this is important to him)Comfortable for walking in. (Looks dressy, but feels more sporty)Side zipper allows easy putting on if boots; required as the fit is very snug so would be tough to get feet into them otherwise. The fit is very tailored and nicely snug in a supportive way.Happy with them.
