Love my boots
I can walk for miles in these boots and I feel no pain in my feet. I bought two pairs to wear with different clothing for work.

Love ‘Em
The shoes look awesome and feel better! I already had a pair of The Bradley. Now, I want a pair of The Finn.

Three thumbs up!
That’s right, the third thumb is for all the compliments I get on my Hynes black. This is my first go with HELM boots. I have several other pairs of premium boots including a custom handmade, so buying online was a big concern for me. Did a ton of size research before ordering. And…too big. Ugh. But the return process was fast, easy, and painless. It was this slick return process that bolstered my confidence in HELM. Got another pair 1/2 size down and I am looking sharp. Quality is terrific. Styling is sensational. Leather is super supple. The Hynes can definitely accommodate dressing up and down. I am on my feet all day in a classroom, so I appreciate the easy-on-the-feet comfort. I will be back shopping online at HELM in the future.

So Far All is Excellent
I really like these Hynes Black boots. I was looking for something more dressy for work and outings on the town. These are beautiful - a lovely work of art. This is my first purchase from HELM, so after a ton (!) of research on sizing (let’s face it, there is nothing really standard about our feet and footgear), I ordered a half size smaller than sneakers, and the same size as many other pairs of shoes. Too big! They swam on me. So I ordered a half size down but was concerned that even this might be too big. It is, however, a great fit. My left foot is a bit smaller than my right, so an insole in the left makes them both feel just right. The return process was easy - communication was terrific from HELM. That simple process, along with the great product, will definitely give me the confidence to buy again. The leather on the Hynes is supple and lovely. The sewn insole is really comfortable. The white midsole is a very sharp contrast to the black boot. I get plenty of compliments. I hope in the coming days I can buy a brown pair of Hynes (even though I like the look of the Hollis!). I am on my feet all day as a 4th-grade school teacher — comfortable shoes/boots matter. I have a more expensive pair of handmade boots I ordered from a well-known bookmaker (with 5 months lead-time!) that busted my budget, but I tried them anyway because of some sore feet issues. They are not as comfortable as my HELM Hynes (by a long way)! I am a pleased customer.
