Men's 4442ewFashion Boot

These shoes are excellent, sturdy, last a good time even with heavy wear.

First gripe! The selection of colours for this range of boots was quite large; These were described as 'Dark Brown', but in the picture shown, they looked more like a dark orange...and These were the ones that took my fancy!. What a pleasant surprise, when I opened the box, to find they were exactly the colour as shown. Personally I would have described them as 'orange dark brown' or 'Dark Orange Brown'. Or more accurately as Dark Marmalade. I'm a size 7, these are a size 8, so I expected a 'little give' but they fit beautifully and with a good width. I just have on some thin cotton socks at the moment, but with a good thick pair of working man's / walkers socks, they will be perfect. The quality is superb, and I walk a minimum of 10 -12 miles a day, every day, often a lot more. The heels and toe caps are reasonably re-inforced, without being steel toe-capped. No blisters etc. My only concern is a little chafing above the ankle bones, but I am so skinny with thin ankles, that this is unlikely to be a problem for 'normal people' and will probably get sorted with some thicker socks anyway. I'm no fashionista, but these boots just look so good! The reason these are only my second favourite boots is that I have a pair of ankle length leather Jodh boots (for riding) bought over 30 years ago, which cost £120 way back then (Manufacturer 'by appointment to her majesty the queen') Not that I'm a Royalist, or not one! lol. Only other gripe; boots were £44 but delivery was almost £8, which seems OTT, but they did arrive only 1 day after being ordered, not that I'd requested it, and weren't included in items 'eligible for free deliver' as I had also ordered 4 other items at the same time. Great boots though. :)

On arrival I removed the tacky Sketchers metal tag from the bottom lace and proofed the leather with an appropriate wax. The boots don't have a waterproof membrane so I'd take the "waterproof" claim with a pinch of salt, although so far they've proven totally water resistant. Water resistant was all I needed for what I intended to be a 3-season boot. The boots look good, not flashy and they required very little breaking in (initially they are a little stiff around the padded top). They are supportive and cushion the sole over hard ground and they grip mud and wet grass sloped surfaces very well indeed (I fish rivers). Looked after (they are leather and all leather has to be looked after) I imagine they will provide many miles of service in most conditions. Basically, a very good boot and exceptional value. Update. I bought these to replace an almost worn out pair of Timberland boots. The Timberlands (badly worn after 10 years but still very comfortable) staggered on another year and only recently have I started using these boots on a regular basis. Unfortunately, after I'd guess 50 miles of walking, the seal between the sole and boot has started to fail. The boots are still some way from falling apart, but the writing is already on the wall. So not really walking boots then, more pub boots that merely look rugged. As 'pub boots' they are probably worth five stars; as walking boots they remain very comfortable but at just over £100, they fall short on longevity and value.

True to size very comfortable and very good quality

Amazing high quality boot for 1/3 of the price of some timberlands, highly recommend

Super comfortable boots. I couldn't find these in the local Sketchers store, so not sure if these are just out of stock or maybe an older design, but nonetheless these are great value, look amazing and comfortable on long walks without having to break the in. The sole is thick too, so great for uneven ground, yet the boots are light enough for all day wear

These Boots arrived on time and well packed. I made good use of the size guide ,which seems accurate. I ordered a UK size 12 ( EU 47.5 & USA 13) perfect fit . With reasonable thick woolly sock I was till able to wiggle my toes and move a little. In normal socks the fitting was still comfortable. My foot width is 4 1/2" inches and the boots did not pinch but fitted comfortably so I would say a broad foot could be suitable for these boots. The tongue to the boots is very well padded. The toe cap below the outer leather feels like a extra hardened shell but its not obvious from the outside. The inner sole of the boots is nicely padded. Overall this is fantastic value for money I would say. I have not been able to test the waterproof claim . The weight of the boots is not overly heavy but in keeping with their size and construction . They are not light weight a little heavier than most I have worn. I will test the waterproofness later in the year. A great buy. I purchased these Boots in Aug 2020 and now I can update my review. These are Waterproof in my opinion. Have walked extensively through very long wet grass and having been out in pouring rain for 2 hours they keep my feet warm and dry.. Very happy

In the past I have had boots from ShoeZone and other off the shelf shoe retailers and I always found that the boots where either a little too big and I had to do the laces up tighter or they where too small, but with these boots I find they are just right. Don't really have to do the laces up all that tight at all. They are warm, hard wearing and comfortable. Do be warned if you do the laces up too tight they can squash your foot a little, from my experience at least which can be quiet unpleasant after a while as it can cause your feet to become achy but just bear that in mind and these shoes are pretty good fit. Didn't take long to wear them in either which is nice and they are not overly heavy like steel toe capped ones I have had in the past where they have made my ankles ache after a day of walking. Over all I would say they are good boots, just make sure they fit and don't do the laces up too tightly as they will hug your feet.

Love these boots! So comfy!
