Cairn Mid

These boots are exactly what I was looking for - fashionable yet practical. I think they will last me years! Shipped very quickly too! Overall very satisfied.

I would not call myself outdoorsy, and I have never owned hiking boots before I purchased these. I went to Iceland for 8 days, and these boots saw me through lots of cold and wet city walks, black sand beach walks, walking on a glacier, whale watching, ice cave hiking (slip-on crampons were provided by the tour company), and rainy day hikes. Never once did they slip on ice or wet surfaces. Never once did they leak water. They kept my feet warm and they kept me from falling on my bum. They were the perfect boot, and I look forward to my next adventure in them!

These worked well for me. I have a hard time finding shoes and boots that fit well. I'm still in pretty good shape, but I'm not 'young', young. These are amazingly comfortable. I specifically needed a leather boot for foot stability. I experimented and first wore them around the house w/out socks and they were comfortable, then w/only a thin sock, then w/ a thicker sock. Each time the boot was comfortable, which I think is unusual. I wear mostly a size 9 and these were good in that my toes had the appropriate amount of room and didn't hit the shoe. I feel that they are true to size. I like the brass ovals and the brass hooks for the laces, a much easier way to go. They are comfortable both laced all the way to the top hook, and with the top-most hook unhooked, which is how I will pby wear them (with the long lace bow-tied twice). I'm thrilled with the new technology of a gusseted tongue. One of my pet peeves with shoes/boots that had laces, and why I stopped buying shoes w/laces, was that the tongue always slid to the side. What good is that! These boots are nicely padded in all the right places. There's a pull-tab on the back of the boot. They're lightweight - and this is important for me because I'm not a youth and my feet are delicate. Soles are rugged and probably will outlast me. And what I consider a bonus, they are really good looking on my feet. I can't find a thing wrong with this product and usually I can find something. I am pleased with my purchase.
