Okay, so I snagged these Irish Setter Ashby boots for my 17-year-old son as a Christmas gift, and let me tell you—I might just deserve a 'Mom of the Year' trophy. He’s obsessed! The quality? *Chef’s kiss.* No corners cut here.

The color had me nervous—online pics made them look borderline orange, but in person? Perfect rich brown. Like, 'dad-approved' levels of classy. They’re sturdy without feeling like cement blocks on his feet, and the leather smells legit (none of that synthetic plasticky nonsense).

Functionality check: Survived backyard brush cleanup duty AND kept his wide feet happy (went with regular width—leather molded nicely after break-in). Flat-footed kid usually whines about arch support, but zero complaints here. Hot weather? No sweat (literally).

Verdict: If your human needs tough-but-comfy boots that won’t quit, these are it. FOMO is real—grab ’em.
