Hubert Pijls (1819-1903) was 33 jaren burgemeester van Maastricht, 48 jaren gemeenteraadslid en vele jaren wethouder. Hij was tevens lid van de Eerste en Tweede Kamer en van de Provinciale Staten. In de bestaande literatuur wordt Pijls opgevoerd als de grote tegenpool én tegenstander van grootindustrieel Petrus Regout. Dat is echter te kort door de bocht. Pijls was een doortastende, keiharde werker die zijn dossiers kende, maar die door zijn autoritaire optreden ook weerstand opriep. Onder Pijls burgemeesterschap ontwikkelde Maastricht zich van een beknelde vesting tot een qua verkeersinfrastructuur, industrie en huisvesting moderne stad. Als klassiek-liberaal bestuurder had Pijls – niet als privé-persoon – weinig oog voor de minderbedeelden. Bestrijding van armoede was vooral een kerkelijke en particuliere aangelegenheid. Na zijn eerste ambtstermijn voorkwamen zijn politieke tegenstanders een herbenoeming. Zes jaren later moesten zij erkennen, dat niemand beter was als burgemeester dan Pijls. Hij bekleedde vervolgens het ambt, totdat het fysiek niet meer ging. Hij bleef zich inzetten voor Maastricht: Alles voor de stad!

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!
