Bogs Men's Classic Chelsea Casual Boot

Purchased as a gift for my grandson for Christmas. He asked for them. He use to wear Merrills and sneakers, that was it, no other shoe would do. He's a 13 yr old that stand 5'9 and is almost 200lbs, so he needs something that will cushion his feet through out the school day. I cannot get him out of these boots. It's the only shoe he'll wear now. Even while playing football! I knew they were nice looking, but now I'm a believer in their comfort.
