So good, I bought them twice (but I had to buy them twice)
Loved these boots so much I bought them again - overall, 4.5 stars.The good:- Stylish casual boots. They're clunky and big in the best of ways; if this isn't for you, don't get them.- These worked for hiking, daily wear, and and extremely casual work environment, although I also wore them with a blazer for a business casual look several times.- Lace to fit tightly.- Incredibly comfortable.- Ankle support without being obvious. The initial few wears can be stiff around the ankles; recommend wearing higher socks (hiking height) to protect your skin until the boots soften a bit. This is worth it for the stabilization factor while hiking or walking over uneven terrain.- More sole support than expected. I can and have stood for hours in these boots. I can and have walked for miles as well, including a multi-hotel conference in Las Vegas. No problem, even though I usually need more arch support.- I don't know whether they're specifically waterproof, but they seem to be at least water resilient. I'd come out of a hike with dry feet when my companion was soaked.- Worth the cost - I got my money's worth.- Wore these near daily, and the boots held up very well until they didn't.The less great:- Wear slightly higher (ankle-height) socks to avoid blisters just above the heel on your Achilles tendon. This need did not go away for me. You can't wear tiny, thin socks and survive in these boots without some pain. It was fine with a good pair of thick running socks that had a fabric tab in the back. I had to purchase these socks, so that was a little annoying.- They squeak. This does not go away, but it does get better.- These boots repelled dust and mud for eight months of constant wear. At the eight month mark, I wore these to a dusty Renaissance festival, and they failed to fully recover. Prior to that, I kept getting asked if I had new boots.- At the eight month mark, the sole on the side also began to slightly separate from the fabric slightly on one boot, right where your foot bends at the toes. I kept my original pair for another four months - wearing them slightly less - and it didn't get worse, so they held up fairly well.- While I'm pretty tough on boots overall, eight months (versus several years) is quite early to have issues with Doc Martens. Extended lifespan is why I switched from Army surplus to Doc Martens years ago. I assume it's because of the fabric material versus leather, but as mentioned, whatever this fabric is, it's quite resilient overall. The cost is also lower on these, so the value is still quite good, considering how much I wore them.Total time elapsed without showing signs of visible wear with near-daily use: eight months.Total time elapsed before purchasing pair number two: one year.TLDR; so good I bought them twice - but I had to buy them twice.

You can't go wrong with these
Go get them! This is my second pair. The first pair had a lot of salt on them from last year so I thought they were ruined. I washed them after purchasing the second pair and they look new. Wish I would have tried to wash them first. These are very comfortable. I wear the first pair at least 4 times a week in the winter a and they still look new. They do run big. I'm usually a size 7.5 - 8 and the 7 fit perfectly.

Get them , they're worth it !
I wear a size 10 , you will have a finger and 1/2 worth of space upfront by the toes. I feel that's enough of space because I can spread my toes out. The shoe is heavy and as a real solid sole. No imperfections at all . Jet black color. Looks more like a teenis shoe boot which makes the shoe more casual looking . Real easy to put on just pull the tab in the back to help guide your feet inside the shoe. Shoe does squeak, idk if that will go away. Shoe may hurt for a week or so untill it gets broken into. Again I wear mens 10 and women size 11 or 10 1/2 I feel this size 10 is perfect no complaints. Packaging came in a brown box and came individually wrapped in tissue paper and brown paper. With tissue paper inside each shoe as well. I recommend because it seems like the shoe will last a few years. Ankle support amazing very stiff so your ankle won't wobble around . Comfortable along the sides of my feet doesn't feel like I will get splinters or burns . Make a L with you thumb and pointer finger, place pointer finger to the ground. That's how far the shoe comes up your leg where your thumb stops. Easy cleaning just wipe them down .Update * I het compliments every day i wear theses lol at work the same ppl compliment me as if they never seen them before . They're very comfortable i wear them at least 3 days a weeks , my favorite shoes. They are still very stiff so u will need to pull the tab in the back to help your feet get inside . The color is still jet black no fading. The sole is still intact nothing is messed up or coming off or ripped or worn out . Looks just as new. I wear them with cargo pants , leggings, shorts, casual dresses, and skinny jeans . Lol the bottom of the shoes still look new nothing looks old at all . Just overall great shoes !

I love these boots way more than I originally thought.
I've had these for almost three years. They're great, they're comfortable; I don't have any issues with them. They're not falling apart, even the laces have held up to the test of time. I do a lot of walking (think 35K steps a day) for my job, and I found myself even wearing them in my own time. I'm gonna get another pair soon enough. What people say about the size is true, order smaller than your own size otherwise you're gonna have clown feet. The only thing that makes me sad is that the Airwair tag on my left boot came off, the right shoe still has it. I'm wearing them right now.
