“First, these are 5 stars for the price. They're a great value. However, these are still $50 boots. They are warm, well made, and waterproof. They are not thick soled and not good hiking boots, nor heavy duty work boots. They're still great boots for the money, though.The soles are a molded, piece of rubber that wraps around the entire foot. It's moderately thick, like a basketball shoe sole, but soft and will wear rapidly under regular every day walking wear and especially on rocky terrain. There is very little support in the shank of the sole, as these are very jelly like.The fit of the boot is interesting. It has a great heel cup and lacing it properly to the top leaves the boot feeling very well attached to the foot. The sizes run on the small side. Fortunately I went up a half size when I ordered. I usually wear a 10 1/2, but went to an 11 because they don't offer half sizes. I wear thin compression knee high socks (I'm a truck driver) and the fit is perfect. Not sure if thicker socks would feel as good.Overall, if you wear these boots only in inclement wet weather, around town, they're a great value. If your looking for heavy duty working type boots, these aren't what you need. These are the perfect boot, at a perfect price for a trucker or someone working inside, who needs to keep their feet dry on rainy and snowy days. If it's not wet out, leave these home.”
“This boot is good enough for my use in Southern Alabama. If I wanted a duck boot to wear in the northeast or anywhere else that has snow and cold weather I'd choose LL Bean or something.”
