I bought my first pair several years ago. The only downside is that, as my sons grew into men, they alternately would abscond with the Vasques. The other posters are right. Incredibly comfortable out of the box and very handsome.
Years ago I attended a formal affair. It snowed that day so I planned to wear the boots to park the car and walk through the icy parking lot, changing into dress shoes later. The Vasque boots were so comfortable I continued to wear them with my tux for the entire evening. If you plan on wearing these with a tux, get the black ones. The burgundy ones are a little too casual with formal attire.
