SkechersUSA Men's Respected-Boswell 204454 Mid Top Leather Moc Toe Lace Up

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.

These are not hard use boots. The leather is soft. Perfect for light duty such as food service or the medical field. Very comfortable. These boots seem to run about a 1/2 size large( I normally wear a size 11, got 10.5 in these). They are also naturally wide fitting. I spend 10-12 hours a day on my feet and these boots remain comfortable throughout my shift. Literally no break in time. Great boots!

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

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!

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.

These work boots aren't durable or suitable for heavy-duty work like construction. I was hoping they would live up to my expectations, but they didn't. I'm not very satisfied. They're comfortable, but they're not durable, and they're very expensive.
