Great comfortable boot just after putting them on. The arch support is nice and there's a good amount of snug around my foot. Seems well made and has soft leather. The only downside i noticed was that I'm initially a size 8 in work boots so i bought a size 8 and they were huge. So i tried a size 7.5 and they were still big so i ordered a size 7 and they fit perfect. So my advice when purchasing these boots would be to order a half to full size smaller. If your current size fits you normal then order a full size down. If your current size fits you snug then order a half size down. My wolverine work boots fit me normal but not snug and i had to go a full size down. Other then that they're great. Can't wait to break them in. Oh and the same goes for the intrepid h2o 8 inch lace up version.
