decided to wait a few months to write this review and I'm glad I did. I work at Lowe's and walk about 30,000 steps for 9-10 hours almost every day. The first thing I did before putting them on was Dr. Scholl and let me tell you these boots are good. I wasn't expecting suede at first, but I got used to it. They'll get a little dirty, but I think that's normal. They have great ankle support as they are fully laced. The laces seem to be quite strong but I will most likely need to replace them soon. The zip has held up great so far and I've used them for climbing, running, jogging, 5 hour airsoft games and hiking. This is a great boot in every way. 10/10 would buy again.
