I got my mom to order these through her account and I paid her back, cash. These are good boots, BUT I went ahead and bought a decent pair of inserts to go in them. I left the others in there, as well.. They took some getting used to since I had worn Georgia Mud Dogs for the past 3 or 4 years. I got tired of supporting China.. But I've worn them every day at work (exterminator and termite tech) and usually on the weekends, too! I recently cleaned them up with some saddle soap and then put two coats of Obenauf's hd lp on them the next day and they just look plain sexy, now!<br /><br />I am pleased.
