Best pair of outdoor boots - Irish Setter Trailblazer 7in Leather Boots - Men's

You're not going to be disappointed buying these boots. I've bought several pairs of this boot over the years. PROS: It's a soft but durable full grain leather and they break in like a dream. I used to wear them at work everday (in a manufacturing plant) and the tread held up well walking on concrete floors all day for a full year before starting to cause knee and back pain. However they are designed specifically for outdoor use. The aggressive tread ensures you will not lose footing. The ankle support is perfect and the waterproofing is excellent especially with some mink oil. I've never had a problem with splitting of the sole or stitching or rivets coming off.. CONS: They pick up mud like crazy, your heel may wear a hole into the achilles support after a year or so (usually the first thing to wear out)
