I can't remember the last time any boot felt this good "out of the box". Good fit around the arch and heel, with space to wiggle ones toes. Fits well with hiking socks such as Thorlo, SmartWool, or Wigwam.
Wearing for chores and errands, no pinching, chafing, or discomfort of any kind has been experienced. Walking on hard surfaces, the heel can be felt to compress a bit, as well as the insole, absorbing almost all shock which might otherwise reach the foot. As Steve Martin used to say in one of his standup routines, "I've got HAPPY FEET"!
I used to wear Doc Martens, and don't wish to bash Docs, but I think these Georgia boots offer superior comfort. They are very similar to a D.M. 0939 in overall styling, but don't require a break-in period to be comfortable, a padded insole as standard, fits better according to marked sizes, and comes in half-sizes if needed.
Color is a warm honey-brown which looks good with jeans or khakis. Could be used as an "urban boot" instead of just a work boot. Could even be the only pair of boots you need to own.
