I ordered these as an everyday wear boot when I’m not needing my PNW heavy duty boots. They are absolutely the perfect boot for my needs. Lightweight but feels like they could handle anything I could throw at them. Super easy break in. Just a few hours of wear and they fit like a glove. I’m a 13 D in most athletic shoes and ordered a 12 D and couldn’t ask for a better fit. I find that I’m wearing these a lot more than my other footwear. I plan on purchasing a second pair, the Highland Chukka as soon as they have them in my size. I don’t know how the previous owners made footwear but the new owners have a customer for life.
