I really like these boots ,they have their flaws but let's go through the good and the bad.ProsVery lightThere is no break in periodVery comfortableI walk between 10 to 13 miles a day,6 days a week and they are my favorite.After a long day your feet are in good shape.dont hurt as much.Flexible boot sole.Wide front, room for your toesConsSlip resistance is basically 0Water resistance is a joke,my regular $40.00 boots protect more against water.Boots offer as much protection as sneakers,don't be sold by the wording.Almost felt on the floor 3 times in just 1 building a day it had rained outside and I walk into 120 a dayNo ankle supportTo be honest,I like these boots,If you are not working in bad weather and need them for hiking, get them.If you work in all weather conditions, going up and down stairs,don't get them.
