I work in the delivery industry and this is the 2nd pair of these boots I have purchased. They have been great lightweight, comfortable, and durable.

I bought a pair of these almost 3 years ago. I have worked in very hard labor jobs on my feet on slippery surfaces, hiked in the woods and trails, camped and walked miles in them. Very stable and supportive on the arch. I have very wide/flat feet. I have to have good arch support or my knees kill me and my ankle turns in. These shoes saved my life in wet slippery weather. I have even gotten caught in a wave at the beach and my feet were bone dry. I just ordered my second pair. These are my dream hiking/outdoor/work boots. Note: I did start to use a Doctor Scholl's Workboot insert after a year, but that's doesn't detract from how awesome these boots are.

Brands I'd also recommend: Bates, Keen, Frye

Was hoping they would be a little lighter weight after reading the other reviews, but they are not too bad. Overall a good purchase. Love Zappos service.

These shoes were extremely comfortable right out of the box. I work a 12 hour shift and I am on my feet quite a bit, the comfort factor was a major plus. Not only do they feel great I think they are stylish as well.

So far these boots have been very good. I easily have over 100 miles on them and they have held up as advertised. As an exploration geologist I depend on quality footwear. I wish they'd go back to just plain old lacing rings, but other than that - no complaints.

This is really a nice shoe. It is comfortable and seems to be well made. I was doubtful at first about buying these shoes, but was surprised when I put them on just how comfortable they really are on my feet. I primarily got them for hiking, but I really don’t think they are made for that purpose. Maybe on some light trails, but I can’t see using these for hiking on hilly areas with a rough terrain nor through the woods where you get into some rocky areas or needing to get across creeks or muddy areas. I just don’t see they would provide the traction that is needed for that type of terrain. The leather is soft and I ordered the brown pair which is exactly like the leather you find on footballs. My wife said they look like shoes made out of footballs, and maybe they are, who knows? Anyway, I will send these back and will get a black pair for work since I have to wear an all black shoe for work.

These shoes are wonderful. I am used to wearing the steel toe so these composite toes make a world of difference. They are extremely comfortable; I haven't had them too long so I hope that they hold up. At this point I would definitely get another pair.

First of all I'm not an expert on shoes. Basically, I normally buy T...Land when it comes to hiking shoes or boots. But when a pair I liked didn't fit well I thought I'd try these. This hiker has a nice design and looks good. The most unbelievable thing for me was how good they felt compared to the other brand I buy. These hikers have a noticeable shock absorbency in the heel of the shoe. The sole (bottom?) has an excellent gripping design. Overall, I would highly recommend these Converse Sport Hikers.

Great walking beat shoe! I've been in police work for thirty years and these are the most comfortable boots I've used in a long time. I am on my feet for hours at a time & it's easy to get aching feet, legs & back, when my shoes are not comfortable. These shoes have comfort & support. A great value.

Best Work Shoe I've Owned!!!! I'm on my feet all day and also have to have safety toes in whatever shoes I wear. My feet had blisters and calluses all over them from all previous shoes I've owned. I got to the point where I couldn't even walk at home barefoot. Now that I have these I no longer have foot problems. I no longer have to walk in pain anymore and all the blisters and calluses are gone. I'll definitely stick to this brand of shoe in the future.

A real boot for my small feet - I'm a 5 ft 2 28 year old with size 5 1/2 feet. I do a lot of walking and need real boot, not some tarted-up kiddy boot. Zappos has been a godsend- they have been my most reliable source for a real boots and shoes in my size. This boot is no exception. It is true to size, well-constructed, and has a no-nonsense appearance. It's also quite comfortable.

Brands I'd also recommend: For small feet, also look at the Ecco boots- but be prepared for the cost.

Great duty boot! I'm a police officer in a large urban city and got these a couple of days ago. Easily the most comfortable boot I've worn in my 19 years on the job! They feel like sneakers. I've worn them for five straight hours standing and walking on concrete while working a major league baseball game and no foot pain or soreness at all. Buy these now, you won't regret it.

My Husband Loves These! This is the 2nd pair of these shoes that my husband has had. He wanted me to order them again and I couldn't find them in stock ANYWHERE except Zappos.com. On top of that they have the best service I've ever seen! Will definitely be ordering more shoes. Thank you Zappos!

Good combo work/hiking boot or trail work boot. Mid-hi height rubs my ankle a little funny without much extra support vs low cut (due to lacing pattern). Nice roomy toe box, so may be a touch wider than average. I measure at 11, a 10.5 fit best. The insole is the typical worthless throw-away. Good value and construction compared to some others in this class.

The Hikers I bought from Zappos were recommended and I'd looked over a pair, so I had no questions about whether they were the right ones. The real deal though was Zappos. First of all they were cheaper than my friend paid and the shipping was free. This was enough to sell me. The clincher, and what will bring me back to Zappos, is the customer service. I expected, since the shipping was free, that it would take a while to receive my hikers, but no, I had them in 3 days. Free shipping, cheaper price and great customer service. What more can you ask for? Thank you Zappos!
