[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a good looking pair of brown boots and thought these would do nicely. They did not disappoint. Plus, they are lightweight while still giving great support. Been kinda wild getting used to the 13 inch shafts again as most boots these days have 11 inch shafts. If you miss boots from "the good old days" I believe you will enjoy these -- but you will also dig on the lightweight technology, as well as the vent-tek shafts -- best of both worlds in my opinion.

Should’ve went with another option
I want to return them. They look nice in the box. You wear them once and they look like you’ve had them for a long time. I want a new pair.

A little less than average.
The boots were a little taller than mentioned which made it uncomfortable. The grip in the boot was also not enough based on the images. You would assume based on the images that the boot has a better ground grip, it doesnt.

Very comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great for the price. Comfy right out of the box, no break in needed. They hold up very well too- this is my second pair, first one lasted about 3 years with everyday wear!

VentTEK Awesome
Great looking boot and all day comfortable!
First time I wore these boots to work, I received so many compliments and my feet didn’t hate me at the end of the day, ten hours later.
My first pair of VentTEK boots, and loving every step!
