I really like my boots.An all-terrain lifestyle requires all-terrain boots. Be sure to follow the guidelines about sizing. The workmanship, like everything else the company said about these boots, seems excellent. I purposely waited to write a review because I wanted to see how they held up.

Because theirs were roughly $100 less, I decided to give them a try. As I was searching for them on line, I ran across Hoffman’s web page. I was debating on whether or not to spend $265 for a pair of another company’s version of the Cowboy Packer. 9 1/2 would order 9) unless you have a wide foot.
