Mostly happy with these boots. They look great - especially in double-black - and they have a nice 'heft' to them, making them feel secure. Early days, but they seem great quality with neat stitching, quality materials and a chunky sole. The big problem - as other reviewers have mentioned - is that the tongue really does dig in to your ankle; specifically, on the inside, making the boots almost un-wearable due to the pain it inflicts. Its odd, because this style of tongue construction is not uncommon with walking boots, and I've never experienced this before. I suspect its related to the CE rated, re-enforced ankle protection. Thankfully, I've found a solution which is to fold the tongue under itself from the inside in such a way to remove the pressure point. I've attached a photo for anyone interested. Overall, quality boots which look great. Just a shame about the design flaw.
