OP
I had ones like the middle photo in Buff colour, but donated them. Too heavy and clunky.

I own two pairs, one black, one brown. Ive been wearing them for clinic for years. Comfortable and never show their age.

They look like the above pics but boot height. Hes not thrilled with the style much, but bought them as a waterproof/salt-proof comfortable and serviceable option to wear to hike around campus and go straight to work in this winter other than his dress shoes. He hopes they hold up well since on sale they were $150.

Unisex and functional
Their popularity predicted the recent designer streetwear boom

I can delete the thread if its not fit for discussion among more important topics like cat pics and wordles
