“High quality boots”

“I bought these boots 10 days after buying a less expensive brand which did not meet my needs and expectations in work boots. I have been buying high quality German and Italian designed hiking boots for years. My boot expectations therefore may be higher than some boot wearers. The 4 pound weight of these boots is due to the rugged construction,their waterproofness and thickness of the leather which was of uniform high quality throughout the boots. The soles do not have deep grooves which are mud collectors on other designs. The boots fit so well on my feet and ankles that they don't need to be laced tightly at the top of the boot to be comfortable.”
