text: Good price, decent boot. I like the eyelet construction, using washers on the interior side.  They are fairly light compared to some of my other boots, and there's really nothing overtly wrong with them.  But the sole feels like it's going wear down pretty quickly (which does however make them a little more shock absorbent I think) and the shank/midsole portion of the boot is a little weak.  I wouldn't want to be on a round-rung ladder for too many hours with these.<br /><br />The fit is right on size, and there was really no break in discomfort.  Of course they felt better after a few dozen days of wearing them, that's how leather boots work, but they weren't bad straight out of the box.<br /><br />Hooray for oblique toe though!  I wish more manufacturers would make them this shape.
