These are my favorite boots I’ve ever owned. Just bought my second pair after a couple years of extensive use. I was a volunteer FF and they were great in all terrain. Also worked for a fishing club, and did miles and miles of trail maintenance along the rivers, these boots always gave amazing traction and ankle support. I’m giving these five stars, even if I have one (small) complaint…. I’d wanted the brown ones, but they are ALWAYS out of stock, even other hiking/camping stores only ever had black. But, that’s only aesthetic, as I still love the boots, regardless.
