Great boots. I've worn Thorogood for 20 years in the Army and in the civilian world. These are perfect duty boots. Very comfortable and light weight. Feels like I'm wearing tennis shoes . I've seen a few reviews saying they are concerned about keeping the shine. I was in tje Army before they switched over to suede so I'm very familiar with shining boots. These are a piece of cake. Little bit of parade gloss and a brush. No problem.
