As I mentioned in the title, these are my go-to ranch shoes. They are light, comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Whether you're taking out the trash at 5 a.m. or feeding horses and goats, the tread is soft enough to walk on comfortably, yet aggressive enough to keep me on my feet in the Colorado winter snow. They are durable and typically last two to three times longer than the cheaper half price copies, making them cheaper in the long run. I love these shoes!
