SkechersUSA Men's mens Respected - Boswell 204454

Finally! After trying 5 different shoes Skechers offers, these are THE ones! My foot is wide, has a high arch and toes are short(er). The slip-on styles I first tried had such tight elastic, continuous lacing and small openings (tongue sewn to the upper- can't be loosened) I couldn't cram my foot even 1/3 of the way in. These shoes are the exception. They're listed as "relaxed fit" and "extra wide fit". Foot slipped right in. The sole is built with a mild rocker last... it's gently curved as if you've already broken them in. Lotsa room in the toe box, and enough width to be instantly comfortable as I wore them the first time. Light, hopefully durable, looks good. Says "water repellent" - living in the PNW - we'll see. No wonder the Amazon page notes: "Customers usually keep this item."Cons... smell of the Goodyear sole "out-gassing"the volatiles present on synthetic rubber and plastic. I set them out in the sun for little more than a day and smell was diminished noticeable amount. But this is common with anything you buy that's made of plastic/synthetics.

Used to think these were old man shoes, then I just had to try them! I am pleasantly surprised at how much I love these shoes! Great quality boot for an affordable price! Super comfortable, great insoles! I use them as my everyday work boots, and they hold up to the active demands of my outdoor job! Fit great! Will definitely be getting these again in the future!

Bought these for wearing at work. I'm a parts guy and also farm. Overall they are a decent boot for the money, the soles are starting to peel a little bit a the top but they are comfortable and seem to be pretty oil resistant which is nice. They do offer pretty good support and are light weight

I've been wearing the Skechers Men's 204454 Ankle Boot (Respected - Boswell) in CDB, size 10.5, and they're fantastic. The relaxed fit offers ample room, making them comfortable for all-day wear. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole and Goga Mat Arch support provide excellent cushioning. The water-repellent leather upper and Goodyear rubber outsole ensure durability and traction. They look great with jeans or casual pants, and I've received several compliments. Highly recommend these boots for anyone seeking comfort and style.​

So far, had them for 6 months and they're doing fine. Reasonably comfortable. Not as comfortable as my Bates tactical were, but ok.

I initially bought these to replace my 'yard work' boots, but I've decided I like them too much for that and now they are my main casual shoe.Initial reaction of the Skechers Men's Respected-Boswell Boot was their weight: VERY light compared to work boots, hiking boots or similar. The stitching and design is attractive and the sole is not aggressive but should fine for casual wear. Where these boot excel is in the comfort. They are very comfortable, even from the first wearing, with no real break-in period needed (for me, at least). These arrived just before a cross country road trip to Yellowstone National Park. These felt great driving and offered good comfort and stability walking around the park (and I do mean walking, as I did not engage in any serious rugged trail hikes during this trip).I would expect these to be water 'resistant', not water proof, which is consistent with the product description. The main component appears to be 'leather like" rubber based material as well as some leather accents on the upper. It looks nice, and actually will compliment all but the most dressy attire.But there is a negative I need to address: the smell. All new boots will have some amount of 'smell', either from the leather, glues, rubber or other components. Usually this dissipates withing a few days. Unfortunately, these boots took a long time to lose the rubber/leather smell. I think this was intensified by body heat, because the smell was very strong when taking them off. My feet/shoes never 'stank' before, but it was very apparent with these. It started to normalize after a week or so and even more so after adding an 'odor-eater' insole. I still love these boots, but buyers should expect an extended period of off-gassing. To me, the exemplary boot comfort far outweighs that minor inconvenience.

Good comfortable shoe that works! I drive a semi truck I'm constantly in and out of shippers in and out of the truck dropping trailers picking up trailers hunting for trailers on the yard, they're the best shoe that I've gotten Versace good price that actually doesn't hurt my feet feel comfortable all day, shifting gears getting in and out of the day cab walking on gravel and pavement even in the rain, I do not recommend getting your foot completely in a ditch but they work great and still look good when these wear out I will be buying some more immediately. Oh there's one thing, shoe strings to me are a little short, no big deal if I feel they are getting on my nerves a little bit I'll buy some longer shoe strings no problem, not a deal breaker at all.

Love them! I do a lot of walking at my job but I still need durable boots. I wish they had composite toes but they work for what I need them for.
