These boots are a nice boot, but I have some major issues with them.  First off, they are not made in America.  They are made in China.  I didn't appreciate paying a higher price for a shoe that I thought was made in America, only to find out that they were made in China.  I could have gone to Walmart and bought a comparative shoe for a lot less, if I wanted a Chinese shoe.  My other issue with this shoe is that they squeak every time you take a step.  They would not be a good hunting shoe, as you would scare away the animals.  Danner, I am sorry to see that you have sold out.  I will not be purchasing anymore of your shoes.  Shame on you. Adding a followup 6 months later, these boots are shoestring eaters.  I just put my 3rd pair of shoestrings on them today.  Never again, will I purchase this product.
