I just bought two sets of Wellco all leather boots with panama sole-features I've been looking for for quite a while. <br>I'm surprised how thin the soles are- no midsole at all. Is this how combat boots are? <br>I thought they were supposed to be "heavy duty". <br>Anyway- they fit well except across the ball- will they stretch much there? <br><br>Are there any other all leather boots with NO lining and decent lug sole?- I hate mud in my lugs. <br>thanks <br>JB <br><br>PS they're on clearance for only $43.00<br><br><br><br>
