Seriously poor quality boots. I went through 2 pairs in just over a 6month period. Luckily they were under warranty so I only paid for them once. First pair, the metal lace hooks started pulling inward with the tightened laces, exposing the holes in the leather. The second pair ripped along the back seam within a couple months. I do drywall, so it's far from extreme conditions these boots were put through. They were comfortable, even if made in China
