Skechers Men's Relaxed Fit Segment - Dorton Boot,Dark Brown,12 M US

I really like these boots. I can wear them with jeans or chinos and they look great, even with a belt and button down shirt. They are light enough for spring and fall, and durable and warm enough for winter. I wear a size 9 mens sneaker (Vans and Adidas), and a size 8 fit me perfectly in these boots. I have a slightly wide toe box and I don't like it when my big toe bumps against the inside of the shoe. These boots give me enough room without feeling loose when I walk. They are quite soft and comfortable and I could walk as long as I wanted. I can put the boots on without sitting down, I just reach back with one hand and grab the strap and they slide right on, yet they are not too roomy when walking for miles. I can wear thick socks and they are not too tight. There is definitely a break-in period. I noticed a little bit of a rub against my right shin the first time I wore them. The black boots are a rigid faux-leather material, and I also bought the brown color and I noticed that they are a little softer, and broke in faster. I live in Portland, OR and we recently got a variety of weather conditions and I put these boots to the test and I was happy with the results. It rained a lot and then we got 2-3 inches of snow with very cold temperatures. THESE ARE NOT INSULATED BOOTS AND YOUR TOES MIGHT GET COLD. However, I did not feel any pain or discomfort. I walked for 30-60 minutes (2-3 miles) on hard packed snow and slush in the city, in 20-25 F temperatures on two separate occasions, and the boots held up to the salt, snow, and cold in the city. I wore two pairs of socks, one thin poly and one thick wool, and my feet stayed warm and dry. I didn't have to step in deep snow, my jean cuffs never got wet. I felt my big toes start to get a little numb after walking on snow for 15 minutes straight, but it went away after I got back on the sidewalk. I also noticed that the boots have good traction in icy slush and frozen hard pack, and although I slipped slightly a couple of times, I felt stable and I confidently walked through all of the conditions without falling down. I also wore these boots in steady rain while walking for 20-30 minutes, and my feet and ankles stayed completely dry. Overall this is a great, comfortable, everyday boot that you can wear to the office, or on the weekends for city hikes in all conditions.UPDATE: these boots are pretty useless on ice. Then again, most footwear is useless on ice. These boots will cause you to slip right away, but I’ve actually had worse. If the ground isn’t crunchy, don’t step on it.

Great Shoes & Great Seller

This is my second pair of Sketcher Chelsea Boots, and they are the most comfortable and good looking pair of boots I’ve had. They are versatile and can be worn anywhere. Plus they are sized appropriately, enjoy.

The boot is comfortable fit but upper edge tends to cut into shin. Hoping over time leather will soften.

Wow, these are my new favorite boots! I treated them with Obenauf's and buffed them the next day and they darkened up a nice shade (I got the brown ones) and these have a very cushiony insole and a roomy toe box. Generally I prefer wide footwear because I have sensitive does, and these just happen to naturally be wide enough to not cause any pinching of the toes. The instep is slightly loose, but I think it might be the reason they are called "relaxed fit". As such, these may not be idea for extended hikes off road, as your foot will likely slide around a bit inside the shoe, but for winter wear and cold weather, they are perfect for my needs. You aren't going to want to walk through very deep snow or anything that is anke keep, as liquid will pass through the goring and into the inside of the boot. But, if you are going to the mall on a winter day and you have to deal with a little snow and slush and then walk for miles inside a mall, you will really appreciate them and their softness and cushioning. The memory form is nice for retaining warmth too and shielding you from the cold ground. This is my second pair of Skeckers and have to admit that I never gave the brand any consideration until I got the first pair of slip on shoes last year that also have the memory foam and they became my go-to shoes for easy on access and comfort, and I have been impressed with the way they have worn in and that the sole is not wearing down like other shoes I have tried. So these seem rugged and comfortable and I think you'll enjoy them if you want cushioning and ease of donning. I recommend Obenaufs or some other waterproofing for extended durability and protection.

I have had this boot about a month. This is a nice looking boot and it appears to be sturdy and well made. Some other reviewers said that the sizing runs large so I bought mine 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear and they fit very well except for my problem described below. The boot is comfortable to wear, not the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn but feels good none the less.Here is the odd thing and my only complaint about these boots. These are supposed to be "slip on" boots. The opening that you put your foot into seems to be much smaller that other similar boots I have worn. I cant just put my foot in the boot and slip it on. I have to reach down and use the pull loop on the back of the boot and work my foot into it. I was hoping that they would break in and become less stiff allowing me to slip them on but not yet after about a month. I wear them daily. I have been wearing this style of slip on boots (different brands) for several years and have always been able to just slip my foot into the boot with out touching it. Thats the whole reason I want a slip on boot...to slip them on!! I cant with this boot though. Based on this I would not purchase these boots, which are otherwise nice, again.

Ordered it as a spontaneous purchase since I needed new shoes and I wear a lot of sketchers the last few years, and boy am I happy I did.In the first few days the front was a bit stiff but after that they were perfect for daily use. Sure, you won’t be able to run in them (I tried), but after a long day of work and standing a lot, my feet feels safe and comfortable. Highly recommended these.

The boot is nice. Comfortable once you get your foot in. The pull up straps on both boots pulled off the boot when pulling boot on. Otherwise the boot is good quality.
