Title: Great light Weight shoes! Very comfortable. My fiance loves them.
Review: These are excellent quality boots. They were comfortable right out of the box. He wears them every day. They wear well. No noticeable scuffs or scrapes on the leather. They are waterproof and have omni-grip for hiking. All terrain boots for many purposes! They run true to size. Very lightweight and versatile. The price was excellent! Don't hesitate they are definitely worth it!

Title: 18 months later, surprisingly satisfied
Review: Purchased July 2022 in a rush to take on family vacation so that I could wear/pack just one pair of shoes. Being new, these worked perfectly for casual dining appearance, lounging around the cabins, limited hiking, riverbank fishing, light rain, dirt or mud conditions forecast. I did a minimum amount of online research for the most positive buyer feedback at lowest cost. These were priced at only 89.95 at the time.I've owned several boots and similar casual hikers over 45+ years. They usually start breaking down within 6-9 months. I have fallen arches, plantar fasciitis on left foot, right foot one size wider and shorter than the left, so sizing is often a crap shoot. These fit snug and comfortable enough with decent grip and ankle/foot support right out of the box. No break-in necessary, as others have said. They were subpar, as expected, on the few longer steep, rocky inclines I came across. Just not rigid enough so the balls of my feet and arches tired quickly. They make a GREAT hiker/walker on every other flat or hilly terrain. I liked them enough after vacation to make them my everyday shoe. I've been wearing these almost every day to work; standing/walking on concrete and asphalt 9-10 hours/day, 4 days/week, and hiking, walking, shopping on days off work for 18 months.They've been warm in moderately cold weather (+10°) and not overly hot in Texas weather. Decent moisture wicking/breathing kept feet pretty dry. The traction/tread did wear enough by 12-13 months to make walking on wet rocks or slippery surfaces overly treacherous but that's better life than most. My heel has worn the lining of both insoles but not all the way through; no uncomfortable folds or lumps underfoot; a welcome surprise given experience with others. The stitching, glue, outsoles have held far better than most! Shockingly, no separations between outsole and footbed. No deep cracks in bottom of soles. Even the toe bumper has not shown any separation. This suede upper DID show permanent wrinkles on the tops of toe/foot more quickly (1-2 months) than most others but not terribly ugly while wearing, as you might guess from my photos. How these could be called "waterproof" being suede with no Gortex or similar layer, I don't know. My waterproof expectations were reasonably low reading the specs, so was prepared for disappointment. They ARE nicely water "resistant" in light rain, light snow conditions or even a (very) quick hosing off but with heavy rain or stepping into water the wet and cold is felt in socks and feet within seconds or a few minutes of saturation.My single "complaint" is that, for some reason, in my house with these shoes on I am a walking electrostatic lightning rod. To walk from couch a short distance across carpet I must discharge/ground myself before touching or kissing anyone or anything or receive a painful surprise zap! We must have a unique combination of furniture covering, blankets, carpet, otherwise there would be more reviewers mentioning this.As far as care; I hosed them off with any heavy mud or grass stains and brushed them maybe 8 times. There's not much support left in the footbed/soles at this point and they started squeaking when I walk at 14-15 months in but I'm very satisfied with the quality and value I got from them. If I can't find something better, I may purchase again even at the $10-20 higher current price tag.

Title: Surprisingly light
Review: So up front I am used to wearing military boots so I base my review that way, these boots were light and comfortable made of pretty durable material and the sole was both resistant to chemicals and taller than I thought it would be. I enjoy the color which like stated is close to that of a shark. The laces are round and shorter that I would have thought. if you normally wrap your laces around the shoe these are not long enough. Overall these are great for the price and I would buy them again.

Title: Quality, Style and Comfort
Review: I'm not a hiker but I've purchased several variations of these hiker boots. Compared to other hikers I've purchased in the past, there is no comparison. These are of great quality and are also very comfortable to wear. They are also extremely stylish with many colors/styles available in each category as well as many different hiker categories to choose from. I wear them casually on a daily basis and they really offer superior support compared to a tennis shoe or sneaker. They are not heavy and do not make your feet feel tired. They can be pricey, but if you keep an eye on them, they go on sale often and that's an added bonus. I can't vouch for how they hold up on real hiking trips, but for every day casual use, they are definitely 5-star.
