My podiatrist suggested that I wear shoes with more arch support and a wider toe box. I wanted something in leather for casual office wear that had a classic heritage look and provided the support I was looking for. These were priced very well and available immediately.
The 6-inch height is the perfect amount of ankle support for moderately challenging hikes. It also works well for me for the local winter weather.

It was OK. They did not actually have in stock the model I originally purchased. I accepted their offer to replace it with a model that was available. The shipping was quicker than I expected.
