Blisters! The opening of the shoe is too small and the band too tight. These shoes, with a regular sock, gave me blisters on the back of my ankles. Because of the small opening, they are difficult to get on. Bad design. I have to wear a very thick sock and band-aids to avoid the blisters, which means I can only wear these when it’s cold outside.

I love these boots. I work as a volunteer at a horse rescue and these boots are just what the doctor ordered for the spring, summer and fall seasons. They are comfortable, do not slip going up and down muddy and grassy hills, they are low cut, but perfectly high enough so I can use them to kick manure onto my fork. I have worn them for 6 to 8 hours at a time since they came, and no rubbing, blisters, calluses or other issues at all. They are easy to get on and off and perfectly waterproof. Perfect!

I regret that I had to return my pair; however, unlike the ones I have had for years, this new pair was difficult to get on due to the small opening. The old style was much more functional and comfortable.
