This is a very comfortable boot that fits true to size. The confortable fit is what I like most about this boot. The sole is flexible and is a nice thickness...not too thick like a Doc Martin. The only negative is that I can feel the steel toe box with my toes but this is common for steel toed shoes I have owned. I think steel toes tend to slightly cramp a boot's toe area. These boots have a great style that look great on the motorcycle but I wear them whether I'm riding or not. Great boot Chippewa!
