I usually wear boots or hiking boots most of the time. I have recently had several health issues, spinal surgery etc so trying to get my boots on and tie them was agony in the cauldron. I was just browsing the site when one day I saw they told my wife I would buy a set just to try, she laughed she had never seen me in anything but boots. my boots. In short I love them, they are comfortable and easy to put on, I ordered a second pair, I recommend.
