I purchased a pair of these shoes about 5 years ago. I wanted something that was tidy enough to wear casually but was capable of being used on most terrain.
I'm no hiker but when I visit a city or go across country, this is the footwear I use.
Unusually I have no complaints at all. Light (extremely), presentable, very comfortable and extremely hard wearing. Goodness knows how many miles I've walked in these, often on hard surfaces and in bad weather and they've never failed to perform. This is the first time in years that I've worn a pair of boots to destruction (the soles are now almost smooth!) without any problems with the construction of the boot or discomfort.
The leather is soft and the insides well padded and the whole shoe breathes well. No need to break them in, just put them on and go!
If you want a good all round sturdy ankle boot that doesn't cost the earth or wiegh a ton, this is for you. I'm buying a new pair and using the old ones for scruffing around. Only pity is that they don't do them in black.
Treat yourself - you won't be disappointed!
