Sturdy, rubber feet with good grips, easy hooks for the laces for simple in/out. Little cushion inside, deep angle mid-foot. As a flat footer felt a little weird but with thick socks that issue went away fast. The tongue of the front only came up halfway, potentially debris could come inside. A day of moving around, kicking a few boulders, tree stumps, and the usually backyard activities felt fine. Same weight class as other steel shoes. Flexibility of walking around didn't feel like a bog either but you know the weight is there.
