These boots are lovely, comfortable to wear and feel sturdy, I had Ariats for years so it's great to see a competitor, these have proved awesome for the price and they match the huntington gaiters I got. They also feel quite supportive of my weak ankle and zip down nice and far so are easy to pull on and off and air out when walking around after my ride. So I now have a leather boot and gaiter set that I'm happy with for under $200 can't complain about that! Very impressed with these.
