Amazing Out of the Box
My arches have fallen (flat feet). In short, not good. Our good US Navy saw no issue putting a very flat-footed individual on an 8-story aircraft carrier for 4 years. Anyway... Finding boots/shoes that work is nearly impossible and these boots are fantastic, right out of the box. The heavy-duty zipper makes things much easier coming and going, the internal arch support is amazing, the toe box is big enough to wiggle my toes and I can walk my dogs 1.5-2 miles daily without arch pain. I also wear Nortiv snow boots which have very similar arch support that led me to try these boots. They are also warmer than I expected and feel extremely durable. I will post an update if my experience doesn't align with my expectations after wearing them for a while.Update: after one month, they feel even better. In fact, they are so good at ordered the black pair so I could have a pair to work in and walk the dogs without messing the suede pair up, because they are a sharp looking boot that I started wearing to work in a business environment. Note that I had also purchased the Nike boots that are very similar to them and while the Nike boots are comfortable, they do not match the fit and support of these boots. When I lace them, I do so with force, as tight as possible, and they keep my weak and damaged ankles extremely secure. Two weeks ago, while walking the dogs on an asphalt path, I wiped out on a stretch of ice, kind of a contorted version of the splits on the way down, while wearing the black boots. When I got back on my feet, my left ankle was a little sore, but I have no doubt that if I had not had those boots on, laced tightly, it would’ve been a short walk back home or more like a hobble back home, but I was able to quickly walk off the soreness, and after a half a mile, I didn’t even know it happened.I will update this if I see where, in wear issues with either pair. For now, they give me tremendous confidence that my ankles are secure, and tremendous comfort! Note that I also wear them with very thick wool socks which also add to the comfort and our fantastic if you have neuropathy as I do. Either way, you cannot go wrong with these boots for the price. They are far better than the military boots I was issued while serving.UPDATE: At walking 2-4 miles a day, I put approximately 800 miles on the black pair before they began breaking down. The Nike boots I bought broke down after half that period of wear. I have no problem replacing $60 boots after 800 miles. The boot itself did not tear or show signs of wear and tear, but my pronating ankles pushed the insides of the soles out after that period, eliminating the support needed for multi-mile walks. The zippers still work perfectly and the boots still look great and are fine for casual wear. This is a very solid product. Highly recommend.

Construction appears to be of good quality and material, especially for the price point.
Excellent fit. Really, a very pleasant experience, as I bought these boots without any foreknowledge of this brand.Received two days ago. I am quite particular with regard to the footwear that I buy. It is early yet, but I am cautiously optimistic that these will indeed, likely be a good deal for me, as a discerning buyer, and lifelong user of Men’s Large Boots.

Wish I Had This Years Ago!
We really love this mat! First of all, it fits right in on our kitchen floor along our island. Second of all, it stays and you don't have to worry about tripping on it. And thirdly, our dogs even like it and of course they are well trained and leave it alone. I like to stand on it when I am doing a large load of dishes. A great buy!

A descent boot but needs better insoles
So I am a police officer and I use these as work boots. I alternate between a high, mid and a dress boot. These are the one I use for patrol and extra jobs. They are very durable and last a long time without the base coming apart or rips or tears. They will last especially if you take care of them. If you are going to get them I would advise getting a better insole and doubling your socks because they fall short on the comfort side. They are nothing special to look at they do have a zipper on the side that make it easier to take off once they are laced up properly, which seems difficult because the lacing seems to come loose after one wear. It's a good buy and I use the old ones to cut grass and walk around in tall grass.

Not bad for the price - handles abuse well
Durability Update:These lasted 7 months total, however I abused the absolute heck out of them. What killed them was my trip to the ocean and getting them soaked in salty brine, which caused the soles to become unglued. Tried to fix but didn't work as hoped.Old boots are still usable for dry locations, so will make my old pair for dirty work projects. Still some life in them.In my pics, you can see ALL of the seams are still very tight. Was a good feel to wear long term and stand in, probably 3 thousand hours wearunf. The sole wear is very impressive, there is still good tread left. I've hiked and walked hundreds of miles during my ownership, they still grip sketchy terrain very well (Even wet grass on a slope).Prior review:So, after 6 months hiking with my dog in unusual and diverse places, and playing with the local FD, the bottoms finally started to separate. I think it was the salt water I had gotten soaked with that caused this. Some shoe goo squirted in, and all is good suprisingly.The tread is holding up fine, and the grip confidence while traversing sketchy terrain is still exceptional.Very difficult to walk silently with, they clop a little. If your careful, you can mitigate that when needed so it isn't too bad.I kept the original boot liner, found it molded to my foot shape readily enough after a few days and is comfortable enough to stand in all day.No issue with any junk material breakdown inside the boot (Like most boots I buy), or anything other than the sole separation as mentioned which was easy enough.Will try to update this review when I finally replace (Probably with the same ones).

Nice and comfortable boots for the motorcycle
Nice and comfortable leather boots which I wear on my motorcycle. Gives good feeling for the brake and the gear shift. No sweating even though the boots cover the entire ankle. Can be perfectly adjusted to the foot. Easy to clean and also comfortable for walking.
