I usually wear boots or hiking boots most of the time. I've had several health issues recently, spinal surgery, etc., so I'm trying to get my boots on and tie them. was a thorn in my side. 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.
