Absolutely love Pajar boots. My wife scored a pair of center zip combat-style looking boots and chanced it as her go-to boot for our recent trip to Germany. She was worried that they would be uncomfortable but came to absolutely love them. So comfortable, so much support. I came home and searched for a men’s version which I found, and also this Tavin boot—as a more casual knock-about boot. This winter it’s been my go-to boot for casual. So comfortable, supportive, great traction/grip on all surfaces, warm, but not overly so. For me the Pajar boot seems to run a little small, and where I’m normally a 9US (42), I found myself ordering a 43 (10-10.5) in this boot. Bonus: the toe box is wide in this boot, making it crazy comfortable for guys like me with a E width foot.
