Brian, 0/0/00 User Rating: 
"I bought it at Payless Shoesource for only $12 on sale, regular price around $20. They are a great bargain and are made of a synthetic leather which is water proof. Unfortunately it is not very breathable. Overall, they are pretty comfortable with the "Gel Air" insoles I bought. The only complaint I have is that moisture tends to stay in the toe of the shoe, where it has no vents, so it will smell if you wear it for a long time. But I have found a solution, every time I come back from bckpacking I fill up a paper towel with baking soda and stick it in the toe, it will absorb moisture and make it smell better. (leave it there for a few days)

These are great boots for people who cannot afford all that expensive gore tex and full grain leather from big name companies. Not as comfortable, but if you get some insoles they are great everyday wear boots."
