These are my first pair of boots and I am very pleased with them. I was a little hesitant at first because I knew these were popular amongst women but I wasn't sure if they also worked for men. After some research I decided to try them out, and boy am I glad I did.They look great and are extremely comfortable. I was a little worried about having to deal with the notorious break-in period after reading and watching reviews on the leather version of the 1460s. However, with these vegan versions I found them very comfortable out of the box and felt no signs of discomfort after walking around the mall for a couple of hours on my first wear. Now after about a month of wear I can tell you that they are even more comfortable as they have better molded to my feet. They have proven to be very durable and waterproof as well. I got these for $61 when Amazon was having an additional sale on shoes sold and shipped by them. I highly recommend these boots!
