Good Boots, But Not Waterproof, Not Warm
Pros: Good looking, mini vibram sole, nice color contrast. Great to pair with denim. Quality leather laces.
Cons: Not water proof, no ankle support.
These are a fine pair of boots that I use to beat around in the colder months. They're made very well and also very handsome. Look great with a pair of dark denim and a sweater. Nice leather laces. An aesthetically pleasing boot, but a couple drawbacks. I was expecting a very basic level of protection from the elements, however, they provide little. Heavy rain, puddles, snow -- all will soak right through. If you have to wear these in bad weather, be sure to wear a pair of thick socks. They can also be a little lumberjack looking when worn well out of their context. Very little ankle support, I wouldn't recommend wearing these for a hike across any sort of rocky terrain or steep grades. Price was fair, cannot quite recall it exactly. I am a US9 and wear an 8.5 in these, with room for a thick pair of socks.
