Comments:
I returned my pair. The boots look cool for casual outerwear or light hikes. I liked the leather lining, but the quality is not as it used to be when boots were hand crafted. I was concerned about the lack of durability of the flexible plastic hardwear and the outer fabric guards that seemed like they would wear easily and separate from the leather. The midsole is stiff from the box, but once you quickly "break" the sole one realizes it is probably a fiber board that has creased at that spot rather than maintaining a supportive flexibility. Absolutely not worth retail price, but if you could get it less than $100 it would be a nice casual or light hiker.
