Irish SetterSetter Fifty, Men’s, 6", Faux Lace-up Chelsea Boot

Very comfortable

We ordered these boots for my husband in his normal size 9, and they fit true to size.The boot is extremely well made, however they are not easy to put on, even with the rear pull loop provided.The faux shoe laces which are permanently in place do offer the freedom from having to constantly bend over to tie the laces, But they are difficult to get on because the instep of the boot is too narrow.It requires way too much effort. The double sided stretch columns add appeal to the boot but do not assist in the placement of the shoe itself.This is unfortunate because the ease of the style really makes it less desirable. My husband has decidedthat he will remove the laces that came with the boot and replace them with a pair of regular shoe laces that match the boot.The boot has a moc toe and wedge heel which is made of sustainable material. They are very comfortable to walk in, with no restriction in the toe box. The insole provides some arch support and cushion. They are made of leather and therefore is not the kind of boot he would wear in rainy or snowy weather. The boot is light in weight and he has worn them for hours at a time and has no complaints.The boots are advertised as a "chelsea style boot" , but chelseas boots typically are more narrow, have a thinner sole and do not have laces. They do feel and look very durable and the color combination lends itself to air with many outfits and color combinations. They are versatile enough to be worn for a casual evening out for a bite to eat or my husband has worn them to work. They are not dressy but look more rugged.
