Great packing/hiking boots
This is my second pair of these boots and I just love them. I ride western and do trail maintenance. I needed boots that were waterproof, had good tread, could hold up to a beating, could support spurs, were comfy for occasional hiking, and could fit toe warmers. These boots do all of those things. A little stiff at first (duh) but they've worn into really comfy boots. I've had my first pair for 2+ years and they were my main pair of boots on a week-long horse packing trip this year.

Regarding the waterproofness - I live in an area that is wet and cold all winter and my feet are still cozy and dry in my old boots during 4+ hour trail rides. I've ridden these in a thunderstorm and my feet stayed dry.
