I bought a pair of these elsewhere (before I discovered Boot Barn) and I love them! They're my first "packers" and if you're on the fence about them bear in mind they are literally the best of both worlds. As supportive as a good sturdy work boot and as stylish and comfortable as a fine western boot. The leather quality is excellent and the footbed is far more comfortable than I would have thought. Another plus is that teh laces are of very good quality as well. So often when I buy a pair of good boots I'm disappointed that they shipped with flimsy laces. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy these and want very color variation that Chippewa makes.
