Boots arrived in 4 business days, which is great, because I didn't realize they had to pass through customs. They fit great, the insole is well cushioned. First work I did was in marshy wet areas of the farm and I was walking in water for hours and my feet stayed nice and dry. Even when the water level was above the tops of the boot, the water never got in. On unlevel ground I never felt any slip, the treads did a fantastic job of grabbing the wet ground. My wife was in her Mucks and her soles are separating and her feet got soaked. My toes stayed warm and dry!
I would buy these boots again in heartbeat, except...I don't believe I'll ever need another pair of boots!
As Terry Pratchett once wrote in a discourse on poverty:
“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

True boots of perfection.
I LOVE these boots. I bought them over 7 years ago. Wore them everyday for about 4 years. Added the aftermarket front zipper. Started using them casually since they are a bit warm for arizona. But I've used them for work boots, running around the cities all over the world, and riding motorcycles and let me tell you. These boots have had zero signs of breaking down.I bought these boots because I loved the army issue winter boots I was issued and I wanted the same pair but in black. And then I wanted to have a quicker way to take them off and put them on.Started wearing them again today and perfect. They work perfectly. I've walked through ankle high puddles.Anyway, if you wanted a great set of boots that'll last for years on end, these are them.
