Mens Orthopedic Business Leather Ankle Boots Comfortable Arch Support Plantar Fasciitis Heel Spur Formal Derby Tuxedo Oxford Casual

I was completely blown away by the comfort and quality of these Chelesea style ankle boots. I don't know everything that happens to our feet as we get older other than we lose fatty padding and structural changes occur as our ligaments and tendons lose elasticity. I used to be comfortable in anything. I never thought about aftermarket insoles or arch support - I just bought off the shelf Chuck Taylors or Doc Martens and moved on. However, as I aged a bit more, I realized that many shoes just weren't comfortable for me anymore and it's been quite perplexing. My wife and I have done the tour through countless brands such as On Cloud, Brooks, etc.... and they start out great, but quickly degrade into foot discomfort and dissatisfaction. I'm not overweight nor suffering from any issues that should contribute to foot pain. Currently, my benchmark for the most comfortable shoe / boot for me outside of the hottest days of summer are an older version of the Under Armour waterproof boot (can't remember the original name) closest to the current Expanse Reaper Waterproof line. No kidding, I've worn these days on end at home in the rain, in the snow/ice for travel, and I have experienced zero fatigue or foot pain. I was intrigued by these OrthoComfoot Chelesea style ankle boots that touted arch support, comfort, and even a decent sole with a bit of grip. I ordered my usual 9.5 and looked forward to their arrival. When they arrived, the packaging was top notch, with each boot in their own canvas bag. Included was an extra set of insoles. It was a busy weekend, so I decided to put these through their paces all weekend long. First, I went on a date night with the wife to her favorite restaurant, and shopping afterward where I would be doing a lot of walking on concrete. I expected there to be a break-in period, but these boots were lightweight and comfortable from the moment I put them on. The sizing seems to be spot on as the 9.5 fit perfectly. The following day, we needed to be at a family member's remembrance ceremony. There was a lot going on and mixed sitting and walking around talking to others. What I did not even think of is discomfort or foot pain. These boots performed all weekend without any issues to speak of. The arch support is amazing, and they are so lightweight that one sort of forgets they are wearing a boot and not a sneaker. As for style, these boots were at home with jeans and button up as well as a dress-casual look. Their versatility is outstanding. Would I pay the current asking price of around $120 with coupon for these boots or would I purchase them again if they went missing - Without a doubt. I've spent more on shoes that utterly disappointed me after a couple of days of wear. These boots appear to be of high-quality leather, stitching, style, and design. I expect them to perform on par with my current faves, the UA boots as mentioned earlier. Read more

If you are not familiar with Amazon Vine, it is basically Amazon trading free* products for honest reviews. You see a lot of Vine reviews that are cookie cutter and based on templates. I aim to make my reviews honest and non-cookie cutter (other than this intro and disclaimer). * These items are not actually free as Vine members pay income tax on the items they receive. Therefore, I will never order something from Vine unless I actually intend to use it. I think this is important for readers to understand because it means I will never order an item just to provide a fake five star review to a company. If I review something as good, it means I actually enjoyed using it or it fills its intended purpose correctly. Items that don't meet my expectations will be reviewed accordingly. Why I ordered this item: I spend a lot of time on my feet for work and my arches have been killing me. I needed something that wouldn't look out of place in a business setting but would support my feet instead of just looking the part. I have extra flat feet, so this has a huge impact on my back and spine. Likes: * Put these on and there was no break-in period at all. They felt good from the first wear, which is rare for leather boots in my experience. The arch support hits exactly where it needs to and takes pressure off my heels immediately. When you put your hand inside the boot you can really feel how prominent the arch supports are. * The leather quality is nice. It's supple but sturdy, and it feels like these will hold up. The stitching looks tight and the sole is properly attached with no flex where there shouldn't be any. * They transition between work and casual surprisingly well. I can wear them with dress pants and they look sharp, but they also work with jeans without feeling overdone. The wingtip detailing keeps them from looking too formal. * Heel and arch cushioning is the whole point here and they deliver. My back really feels improvement over my normal shoes. * The sole has a decent grip. I'm not slipping around on tile or hardwood, which matters more than you'd think when you're wearing dress shoes. No likes: * The price is steep. For what they are, the materials don't justify the cost on their own. You're paying for the support engineering and the leather quality, which is fair, but it's not cheap. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: If you need dress shoes that don't make your feet miserable, these do the job well. They're solid boots that work for what they promise. If you have flat feel I would definitely check these out. Read more
