I don't ever leave reviews but these boots deserved one. Out of the box I threw them on for ranch chores with no socks in a hurry, the warmth was my first take away, not overly toasty but in Dec in Idaho I wasn't losing any heat. The comfort with the double insole was unreal. The next day I was honestly eager to put them back on, this time with socks the fit was different, I simply pulled the insole out and was so glad they thought through this often overlooked part of fitment, I got to choose to just take out the thin layer insole and keep the thick, perfect fit. I have now used them for over a week in mud, rain, snow, dry, arena sand, they are unmatched. I even took the shop broom and brushed them off yesterday to just wear them to town, they cleaned up perfectly good after all that abuse to jump in the truck and run errands and go to a roping. I'll be buying another pair after these. There are a lot of companies who charge a fortune for these kinds of boots. Honestly I'd probably charge more for what you are getting, but Brunt knows the blue collar man. I'll be buying another pair after these and telling all my buddies. Ya'll have a customer for life. I got a size 10 as advised to go a half size down from usual and the fit is perfect.
