Excellent boot.

Use for hiking and working on farm year round. When hiking, I'm usually carrying my son in a backpack. He's 38 lbs now and the boots seem to be giving me plenty of support.

I have wide feet and have had trouble finding a boot that fits well. The width on these is good, even with heavy socks.

Good toe protection although leather is getting a bit chewed up.

Comfortable padding on tongue and uppers.

No problems with the gore-tex liners.

Only problem is with the footbed. Foam with some fabric glued to the top. My feet get REALLY hot & sweaty and the adhesive that holds the fabric to the foam softens and allows the fabric to travel and bunch-up.
