My brother always buy woodland shoes he really loves it. He likes to be rough and tough guy travels alot for business purpose and sometimes just to hangout with friends and woodland shoes give him the reliability to walk so far. It's tough and strong and stays with you for many years. No, just do not go upon its tough look, these are so comfortable as well. They can be heavy but you will feel like you are wearing feathers as they are so comfortable from inside. It's range can be costly but it will not give up on you till next 5-6 years. There are so many designs are available now days that are so attractive by looks.
