I am hooked on Eastland hiking boots. I have owned several different models of Eastland hiking boots and I have liked each of them for their comfort, quality and being lightweight as well as being priced right. The only downfall is sometimes it's hard to find my size (13) in the models I like .I got these boots a few months ago and they are perfect. My feet are comfortable and warm all day. They did take a few days to break in around the top of my foot (the tongue has a lot of cushion and gets a bit bunched) but now they're great. I walk a mile to work everyday and these are no problem on the concrete sidewalk. It says a lot from someone who doesn't like a hightop shoe. Also, mink oil really works great one these.The boots are very comfy and stylish, I received the boots with light scratches but it's cool I'll be working in them......very comfortableThey fit great look great and a well made boot but has no support in the arch so I had supports to useGreat boots, already had a black pair of the same which are awesome...the bad news is it 2 weeks to actually get them.Great value. Good quality and comfortable for beginner hiking.very comfortable
