I bought these boots 3 times now (this time being the third) I loved them so much I got a year out of each pair and they were very comfortable. However the third pair was totally different. I bought the same size I always did yet the new ones were way too big. Also they were made with a cheaper material and I saw that the laces were a much cheaper quality after comparing them to my other pair. Honestly I'm very disappointed I've been wearing these boots for years and never had a problem with them until now.
