I have worn a similar floresheim zipper boot every work day for 3 years and loved them.  The look and feel were without equal.  I was disappointed that i couldn't find the exact boot to replace the old ones but these looked similar enough, and only 20 dollars more so I bought them.  Today is the first day I have worn them and I now have giant blisters on the arches of both my feet.  Bear in mind, I'm not hiking in these things or chopping lumber, I am a social services assistant and spend the majority of my time at a desk.  My feet have also spent 12 years in the marines, so they aren't exactly delicate.  I've never had this happen with shoes ever, and I'm sending these suckers back immediately.  The look sharp which is why I am giving them two stars.
