Comfortable, good support and protection, and wear like iron.

Boots.

Right, sure. But the question is…. when do you need boots? I ain’t putting my feets into big heavy restrictive shoes like those unless there’s a really compelling reason. That’s just begging for a foot/leg injury.

Boots - as soon as it's no longer concrete/asphalt/mowed grass.

And those boots are not big/heavy/restrictive.

The pictures are from when they were new.

As mentioned, the soles are polyurethane - about half the weight of vibram, and more flexible.

The leather has softened up like a good leather tennis shoe, and is about ready for a sno-seal treatment, and they are soft-toe.

Lace them tight at the bottom, and either loose or not at all on the top.

Good traction/support/protection.

And by adding a thick wool sock, they make fine moderate winter boots.

I hunt and hike them year round.

Also got them for $35 on a MidwayUSA clearance sale. 8>)
