They are initially quite stiff, due to the fairly thick double layer construction and the heavy rubber unit lug sole, but soften up after a few weeks of casual wear, and a few short hikes. Fit pretty true to size, though I’m finding the Vellies and African Ranger boots fit differently from the Razorbacks.
