Farm Blue Men's Ranger Boots - High Top Hiking Shoes for Men - Water-Resistant Canvas Combat Boots with Orthotic Insoles - Tactical Shoes for Casual, Work, or Outdoor Wear

Like an improved version of the Palladium Pampa. They fit more comfortably in the toe box (slightly wider), are incredibly lightweight, and very flexible. Just got them in today so only tested in the house thus far but I plan to do yard work tomorrow and take them on a couple hikes to see how they hold up and will revisit the review. Cheers

As a 40+ year Palladium wearer I was at first slow to order "Farm Blue " replacements. I went ahead and ordered a set when my oldest set of Palladiums just got too bad. I have been pleasantly shocked. First, they run larger. You can wear hiking socks with them. The "foot box" allows more toe movement and seems to breathe better. The laces are a good bit longer so a wrap at boot top is almost a necessity. But that is better than the alternative short laces that have come on my Palladiums lately. The provided insole is more comfortable and amazingly, these folks finally remembered what the loop on the back of the boot is for!! This one is large enough to get your finger into and pull on the boot. The last three or four sets of Palladiums had a loop so tiny that it was practically worthless. I would recommend you spray them with a water-resistant spray early. Like Palladiums, they practically soak up rain and dew on the grass. I will be spraying mine today. And my biggest criticism of Palladiums for years has been how slick they are when crossing wet stones in a creek or on wet decking... The Farm Blue tread feels softer under foot and seems to grip wet things better. I give them a big thumbs up and hope they can last as long as my oldest Palladiums which I have used for dirty work for over 20 years.

I like everything about these Boots.Got them in Green, Size 12.Usually wear Size 11.5 or 12, mostly 12 and still room for thick socks. Fit well with thin socks also.Had them in for about a couple weeks now, beating them up, long days at work, outside and been Cold (14-35 Degrees Fahrenheit).They aren’t insulated and I’ve had on thinner socks, feet only get cold when I’m not moving. The don’t make feet sweat when extra active so they must breath well. Not made for cold temps but will work, not insulated. Only waterproof to about the bottom lace if you spray them maybe more?? No problems, not falling apart, feet don’t hurt, look good, zero complaints after 12-14 Days of 14-20hr Days and on my feet whole time. Company is very Helpful as well. Had an issue on website where I couldn’t pick Size and an Individual at Company went above and beyond to assist with the issue that wasn’t really his fault.I’d give the Boots and Vender Selling them more Stars if I could. Pretty much a Perfect 10. Highly Suggest. Enjoy.

Cute style but very poorly constructed with weird structural flaws that make them very uncomfortable to wear. Even with expensive inserts, these are bad for arches, etc.

These are terrific, nice looking, and simple shoes. However, that is from a fashion standpoint. These are not hiking shoes. I am an avid hiker and I would only suggest wearing supportive insulated shoes. These are not that.I removed one star because of the lack of insulation and padding, even though they are very sturdy shoes. in order to wear these shoes longer than 2-3 miles, an additional insole would be required, which I will purchase. I am not wearing these shoes for hiking, but for flat-terrain walks in New York City.An additional star was removed because, even though they softened up as they broke in, they still have pressure points that irritate my feet. For example, there is an extra piece of material sewn onto the underside of the tongue that puts pressure on the top of my foot. I hope this softens up and I get used to it. it is not enough pain to avoid wearing, but I am conscious of it. (At first, the crease created on top of the toe box area with each step was pressing into the top of my toes, but subsided as they broke in.) These issues are not deal breakers, but should not be contended with when purchasing shoes at this price point.To reiterate, these are fantastic shoes for fashion purposes. They look great! They seem durable, but only time will tell. They broke in adequately after a 3 mile walk, but will require an insole for my feet... perhaps these are a little wide. Typically, I wear a size 11D and I am fine right out of the box., whereas these shoes are not. That being said, I like them, but not for hiking.Some people may find these shoes perfect for trekking, but maybe they are not aware of the comfort and support of great hiking shoes. I feel bad giving 3 stars because these shoes are well made and stylish, but they are marketing them as "hiking" shoes and I think this is not accurate. Given the conditions I have expressed, I would buy them again, and recommend them. I like and appreciate what the company is doing. I would love to see the company offer these shoes constructed of recycled materials.***Update***I have removed an insole from my Salomon Hiking Boots and placed them in these. The fit is more cushiony and comfortable. I will gladly wear them with the additional insole, but still, not for hiking.

Very good product compared to the price . Am enjoying it

When received initially there was a manufacturing defect which caused me to reach out to the seller. After not hearing back, I was frustrated and my previous review reflected it. I understand that manufacturing issues happen, but expect prompt attention. Well, I can honestly say that this is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. The vendor is updating their contact system, which explained the delay. I interacted with the company's owner who went above and beyond in fixing my issue. The boots are beyond comfortable, and I have no problem pulling a 12 hour shift. They also are unique and hold up well. I'd highly recommend these to anyone and commend the seller for going above and beyond.

I wear these boots on weekends when I cut my lawn and do other yardwork outside. I like that they are cool and lightweight and you can get them wet. But the boots are nothing more than glorified sneakers. I have used these boots for little more than a year and was disappointed to see the degradation in the sole material.
