text: I was disappointed, the laces are all I like about this boot as they actually stay tied. The boots are hot, my feet feel wet all day, little ankle support, the last two lace eyelets are hooks with a spring latch. Looks cute at first but the end of the day those latches have to be depressed to un-laced for easy removal. If you plan to use these boots in field or for cutting grass, get ready to track in a lot of everything. The tread seems to an inverse wedge shape trapping everything. It’s strange to talk about this. But even dry grass becomes embedded and is a problem. It is noticeable how much of everything you drag into your shop when working on the farm with these boots. All my other work-boots are different brands but all have the Vibram soles none of them trap debris like these boots. These boots feel slick on ladder rungs, metal tractor steps and (dry) painted concrete shop floors. I have parked these boots and will reserve them for the days when I'm working with pesticides due to their stated chemical resistant soles. Otherwise I would have given them one star.
