I know this will sound like b.s., but this is honestly my favorite work boot of all time! From the first moment I put them on, i was in paradise. There was virtually no break in period. I actually just sat around after work wearing them expecting I would need to get used to them, but nope. The comfort the insoles provides is so hard to explain. It is like walking on a cloud, if is was solid. The perfect blend of softness and structure. I wish I had taken my co-worker's recommendation sooner. You have found a life-long customer, because it is going to be a pretty high bar to reach for any other competitors.
