Men's 4442ewFashion Boot

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. :)

Great Quality. Robust. Comfortable after a few wears. Great foot and ankle support.

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.

Nice boots good value

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 are really comfortable. I have bought many boots before and these are only a few that I can say you don't need to break them in, there comfortable from the first time you use then

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.

Very good 👍 👏

This shoe needs to be XWide Shoe looks ruget and appears like a good boot

履き心地もOK~ 造りもしっかりしてて、安くてお買い得ですね。

The soles collect snow and dirt really easily. If I go indoors from outside, say I'm standing in the grocery store or something, I look down and there's a PUDDLE underneath me. Before I realized they did this, I actually slipped and fell on my butt. Also, due to this problem, they ruined my wood floor in my foyer, even with a mat down. I didn't realize it until it was too late. I've owned A LOT of boots in my lifetime, but none that collect snow and dirt like these do. Even if I try kicking them on the concrete, it's still bad. -1 star Also, you will need to invest in some kind of comfort insole. They are very hard and painful without one. -1 star BUT I like the way they look, and it's too late now to return so I wear them. = 3 star

Las acabo de recibir, Julio 2018. Es verano y no puedo juzgar el "andar con ellas". Son fuertes y de calidad indiscutible. Su puntera es dura, pero las pones y apenas lo notas. Las he probado, son MUY comodas y quedan un "pelin" grandes. Te sube unos 4 cm. la altura, cosa que agradeces y sinceramente, me parecen una autentica salvajada de botas. Tuve unas Panama que me duraron unos 10 años y estas me da... que van a ser lo mismo. Y con una diferencia a favor de mi bolsillo. Y las compre al cojer unos botines Vans y quedarme éstos, grandes. Por cierto recuerda que son botas WATERPROOF: Waterproof es un tratamiento que se le da al calzado para que quede impermeabilizado. Su principal ventaja es que va a repeler el agua y no va a permitir que se introduzca en nuestras botas. Por lo tanto, son optimas para usar en zonas donde la lluvia es moderada. Recomendables 100%.
