These boots are not good for work. The stitching on the decorative pulls at the top of the boot is so abrasive, it wore all the skin off my legs in boot-shaped patches. I removed the pulls, but the unfinished seams underneath still rubbed my skin raw. Tried putting moleskin on over the seams, but it won't stay on over the course of a day. I finally gave up, but I still have the scars to show for my troubles.<br /><br />If you do most of your work on horseback, or if you can tuck your pants into the boots, they might work out for you. But in my case, they were a complete waste of money.
