This mid-weight backpacker has a reputation for comfort and old-school style, which may explain why it's as common at the grocery store as on the trail.
It's also equally at home under the weight of a pack or on a casual day hike.
Fit:This style tends to run large. For an accurate fit we recommend purchasing a 1/2 size smaller than you typically purchase. For example, if you normally purchase a size 7 1/2, we recommend purchasing a size 7.

The first pair of Sundowners that I bought lasted me 15 years of hiking, casual walking, and everything in between Now I'm back for a second pair. Classic style, great fit, super quality... an overall great boot!

Two weeks into wearing this new pair of sundowners I already find them to be one of the most comfortable and versatile shoes I've ever owned. Nice enough to wear at the corporate casual office and well made enough for the trail. The quality seems to be exceptional in all regards and I'm looking forward to putting the Gore-Tex to the test.These shoes do run big... so order a half-size below at a minimum.As an admitted shoe addict, I can find no flaws with these shoes at all. I actually look forward to wearing them!

I have had two pair of these boots before and wore them for over 15years and have been looking for a new pair.Was glad to see that Shoebuy carried them.Once broken in very comfortable and wear well, and I am hard on shoes.

I bought this boot for inclement weather walking/hiking/dog walking, etc.It's not too heavy so it doesn't require a lot of breaking in, but offers enough support for vigorous activity.An excellent value for a full leather Gore-tex boot.It also has a less of a hiking boot look than some and can be worn around town without looking like you're ready to hike up the mountain.
