One year update 11/12/18
I needed a pair of hiking boots to replace the Keene boots that were only 1 1/2 yrs old but not only lost their waterproofing in the first six months but had a weed stalk in the field go right through the side and almost break my skin. This was the second pair of Keene’s that had gone bad in just over a year and, at $130 I was getting tired of replacing them.Started looking at reviews and found these. They have a large toe box with plenty of room. Before I took them out I took another reviewers advice and put a coating of Mink Oil on them. They were comfortable but I knew they’d take a little break in. I now have about three or four miles of walking through the fields and surprisingly they seem to be breaking in rather quickly. I usually put on about 500-700 miles a year.One note, if you’re looking for hiking boots that will give you really good ankle support these ARE NOT for you, look elsewhere. These are for easy hiking, fields and roadway. When I got them I first put in a pair of Dr. Scholls and that went a long way toward making them immediately comfortable.If I remember I’ll give an update in three or four months.UPDATE: Jan. 6, 2018 - I’ve now had a chance to wear these for a while including the recent snow storm and frigid temps (at least for us). We got 5” of snow, temps this morning, when I took the dog out, we’re 4 or 5 degrees with a windchill of -8. I had been wearing wool socks with these and my feet have stayed warm and dry on a 25 to 35 min. walk through the fields. This time, with the snow and frigid windchill I decided to try just summer cotton socks. Bear in mind I’m a 70 year old with diabetes, which does affect circulation, so I’m pretty sensitive to cold and heat and the comfort of my foot wear. (I walk approximately 3 miles a day with my dog, even in the snow and cold unless it’s too much for her.) So, the results of a 20 minute walk were still warm and dry feet. I could have gone much further but Harley was getting snow turning to ice between her toes every few minutes and we’d have to stop and I’d have to remove it.Bottom line: When I received these boots I put in my Dr. Scholls insoles from my previous pair, rubbed in three coats of mink oil on dry days (which I think was key to waterproofing) and started walking. I’ve found them to be far more comfortable than the Keen’s I was previously wearing. I don’t walk as much as a lot of people, about 25 miles a week, but they’re doing well for me for field and neighborhood walking.2/9/18: I like to keep folks updated on important stuff: If you want a pair of boots to wear, every day, and forget when you take them off, look elsewhere. Because these are leather they require a LOT of care. If they get soaking wet do NOT continue to wear them the next day, you’ll ruin them. I’ve found that when mine get soaked from walking in the pouring rain, in the field with my dog, I wipe them clean with an old towel, put shoe trees in them to keep the leather from shrinking and set them aside where there’s a flow of air to let them air dry. Do not try and force dry them with hot air, you’ll ruin the leather. Putting them a few feet away from a fan seems to work okay or just let them sit. While they’re drying I use an old pair that I kept. After they have dried completely I retreat every inch of leather, paying particular attention to seams and around grommets, with mink oil, let it sit and dry then retreat again.Is the above a pain? Yes it is but these appear to be quality boots and you need to take care of them, not let them get muddy and wet and toss them in the corner for the next day.Update: 11/12/18 I’ve now had these boots a year and for the money they were a good buy but I’ll repeat a couple of points I made previously.1. They are not, in any way, shape or form waterproof.2. If you get them soaked do NOT simply take them off and leave them in a dark hallway. If you do they’ll be ruined. Put them on a towel in front of a fan blowing room temperature air on them. Do not, under any circumstances, place them on a heated surface or someplace where hot air blows on them, you’ll ruin the leather.3. Once completely dry polish your boots. This is how I do it: I put a match to the polish (in the can) and let it flame and liquify, then take a rag and dip it into the liquid polish and rub it into the leather. Then I take a clean cloth and further rub the polish in and finally use a brush to buff the polish to a shine. Yes, it takes time and effort but if you wear leather hiking boots and walk through wet fields you should take the time to take care of the leather.In wet weather I don’t wear these two days in a row. If you’re looking for that type of boot you’re also looking at three times the price.

Recommend.
Been looking for a pair of boots I can wear everyday on any weather for the rest of my life. This model is the most water proof boots I’ve ever owned. The boots are comfortable. Once the leather breaks in nothing comes close to the comfort leather provides. They come in all black. Which is surprisingly hard to find. Most other brands offer all black leather uppers and then a different color sole. I’ll be buying these again once the soles wear out. I’ve been wearing them everyday all day for 8 months now and no other boot has lasted this long. Well done. Strongly recommend.

Very Nice Boots as Expected.
I just tossed a pair of Timberland hiking boots very much like these (except they were brown with slightly different construction). I had them about 25 years but haven't worn them for the last 20 or so. In the early 2000's I put about 500-600 miles a year on them, for three years, walking round trips to/from work in the city. They were excellent for the cold and snowy winters in VT. When we moved south 17 years ago I no longer commuted to work on foot so retired them.Now, being in the market for a moderately strong and comfortable hiking boot for walks over the countryside with my dog, the old Timberlands came to mind. As expected, with all the highway miles on them over the previous years, they were relatively worn out; so I tossed them and bought these.After wearing them all day today (1st day), after walking hill and dale, over grass covered fields, (about 2 miles) with the dog and going shopping for several hours, in and out of the car and walking about the concrete jungle, I can say my feet are still comfortable, the boots are well made and more comfortable that I remember them. Two thumbs up!

Versatile
I have these shoes since about 6 months.I walked 40 km on the beach with a 20 kg back pack .I got two blisters at the back of my feet from that which is not suprising considering distance and that the shoes werent broken in .I climbed a very small moutain in Albania 3 hrs round trip but the floor was pretty rough with loose stone and sharp stone .I visited a castel and walked on smooth polished stone floor where other people were nearly falling and walking slowly and akwardly but i had no issues whatoever.I trecked in Corsica again with no issuesI then went for a 5 km run with them under heavy rain . And whilst they arent very heavy the sole inst really meant for running . I got blisters from that too ( fair enough ) my friend feet were wet with normal trainers and mine were dry .I then used them to take a shed down with sledge hammer . Both my friend walked on nail and nearly impaled their feet . I definetly felt safer wearing that .I travel through europe for a month with them during summer . They are warm but it is doable.Only down side for me is to have to re-do the laces everytime , a zip would have been nice .I would recommend them for the price, they are stronger than i originaly though

Great pair of shoes!
Been buying these since a few years as I needed something comfortable and waterproof to walk my dog but also good for normal use. Never had an issue, I just use some grease to ensure waterproofing over time and increase leather life. Despite me not being exactly a lightweight they're a joy to walk in.Always buy these during Prime/Black Friday sales so the price is absolutely a steal!Did and will definitely buy them again.

Muy cómodas
Excelentes botas, totalmente recomendables. Pues son muy cómodas y los materiales y sus acabados son de muy buena calidad. Aunque la horma es un poco ancha, se resuelve con unas calcetas.

Comfortable, functional boots.
Nice, tough boots, good for walking in wet grass and it is easy to slap the mud out of the tread afterwards. You could wear them from the paddock straight to church or out to lunch, I understand now why they are so popular.
