Imade a couple of mistakes buying these hikers-first I didn't look too closely at the construction, believing I was buying a qualty product because of it's former reputation. In exactly .47 miles, according to my Garmin GPS, I felt my boot loosen, the laces were loose--the grommet pulled completly out of the punched hole in the leather. The grommet ring on the underside was 1/8" in diameter, of course it pulled through.These grommets are of course cheaper and look fairly good from the outside, so they sacrificed quality for more profit. The boot it's self was made in Vietnam, and is a good looking boot; but if you want to take a little hike through low-bush blueberries, better buy something made in America. The second mistake was buying these from a store that tried not to refund my money, but offered to give me another pair of these clunkers, like they may last for an entire 1/2 mile. This was the Shoe Store in the Nittany Mall State College Pa. I'll NEVER have anything to do with either again. Joseph R. Eckley

My husband had me find these boots for him after searching and searching other websites and specifically a website that he had always bought boots from before. These were a better bargain and he wears them for work everyday with great comfort and durability. We'll order them again when needed. They are well made and worth the time it took to seek them out from Amazon.
