Madson II Chore Waterproof Boot (Men)

Wow. It's been 20 minutes and I almost refuse to take them off... and I'm just in my house—a wonderful, wonderful boot. Insanely comfortable. Not a bulky wide toe. Coming from someone with a wider foot, they fit just right. To the people complaining about the eyelet... how hard/tight are you tying your boots? Unless you're embarking on a military ruck march, there is no reason to tie them like they are boots explicitly designed for ankle support. It's a fashionable combat style boot, not a military boot. You shouldn't even tie the top eyelet. One loose loop around the second eyelet, then a simple [not overly tight] knot, and you're good to go. I will say, they are darker than anticipated (i.e., they're more of a 'darker brown sand' than a 'lighter beach sand' color.) They appear lighter in the product photos, but the image next to the review I am currently leaving is more accurate in terms of the actual boot. Although I love the boot so much, I wish both colors were available. Either way, to my new boots... welcome home!
