text: I like the look of the boots and they are very supportive, however, I ride a motorcycle and the tops of these boots are just soft material which torn within the first two days of riding on the left boot. (clutch side of the motorcycle) Very disappointed but it is my own fault for buying boots on the internet. If I would have seen and touched these as in a shoe store I would not have purchased them. For regular use though, they are comfortable and would probably be good hiking boots.
