I can honestly say, these are the worst boots I have ever worn. I purchased these boots and made the mistake of throwing my old worn out Carolinas away. I basically had to wear these for a two weeks. I wore them the first week and decided they were not for me because they hurt my feet so bad. They have an odd arch that continues to the outer edge of your foot opposite of the arch. I have to wear then a few more days while my new Carolinas were being shipped.<br /><br />I would NOT recommend these boots to anyone. Redwings should be ashamed of themselves for using their brand name to sell this junk.<br /><br />I have been wearing my new boots for two months and the pain caused by the Irish Setters is still there!
