I've had these boots for some 8 years. They've seen me on hikes in the mountains of the Big Bend country, on horse back, and motorcycle rides. They've aged beautifully! I highly recommend them!

Good boots

Like Jerry said, I needed to get the calves cut down but that went okay. I wear mine for serious horse riding in the mountains and found the leather soles to be too slick on steep mountain slopes while dismounted. I had mine resoled with very low or shallow vibram soles so they wouldn’t hang in a stirrup in case I came off and still would give me traction while afoot. For the average guy walking around or for arena riding, the soles are fine as is. If you are going to wear them in cold weather maybe buy a size larger than normal [or 2] so you can fit an insulated liner in them and still wear heavy socks.
