They are very comfortable, light and a bit narrow, which is good for me. They appear to be well made, but they aren't really boots. They are something between a boot and a boot. However, I have to say that if you wear them without proper socks and then write a review to complain that they blister and chafe your skin the first time you put them on, you are a complete idiot if you wear them. They are obviously meant to be worn with round toes or longer and most boots are stiff and require breaking in when new.
