Caught these on clearance, have been my most worn and versatile boots since.

I've worn these to the grocery store, to the bar, to cookouts, when walking my dog, and have been to several sporting events and concerts in them. I performed in a few improv comedy shows while wearing these - the only boots that I've ever worn during shows (almost always sneakers).

The leather was flexible and easy to break-in from the beginning. The roughout leather made me more comfortable wearing these at events they might get dirty or get stepped on.

The fit of these is great. The sole was a little stiff at first, but not too bad. Other people have put their feet in them, thinking they'd be heavy and stiff, but said "oh, these are comfortable...I see why you wear these so much."

I've been happy with these boots. They're comfortable and have a classic, casual look. The pair are consistent between both boots.

These were a complete surprise to me. They started as an impulse purchase when I saw this model was on clearance for about 50% off. I've worn them probably 50% of the time during the six month period, which has been easily the most of any boots I've worn. They just seem like they are appropriate for almost all occasions, yet I have no reservations when wearing them when they'll likely get beat up.
