These boots look really cool and are pretty comfy right off the bat. I dislike that I can't fit a Dr Scholl's thing in them because the top of my foot is high. I use them no matter what because I work on concrete all day.Where the laces start at the bottom there's actually a seam so there's not much vertical room. Once I wear them a bit I'll see if they've compressed enough to fit one. But overall very happy. Love them!
