Pros and cons

Pros

Side zipper can make putting the boots on and taking them off quicker than a lace-only design.
Lace-up closure allows fit adjustment, and the insole is described as providing heel cushioning.
Rubber outsole and leather upper are specified for outdoor and work-style use.

Cons

Customer feedback reports inconsistent durability, including weak stitching and boots reportedly coming apart after short use.
Reports also conflict on fit and zipper reliability, so the convenience of the side zipper may not be consistent.
