text: Read other reviews before purchasing that mentioned low quality. I ordered anyway, and what I received is a good, quality boot with a solid sole and leather. It matches my memory of another pair of Lugz that I purchased many years ago, which is a very heavy and solid feeling sole. Good quality.<br />I believe the other reviewers on here may have been a victim of counterfeiters. I bought a pair of counterfeit sketchers work boots without my knowledge from a sketchers store in California. The lesson is be careful who you purchase from. My purchase was PRIME, so it shipped directly from Amazon. The counterfeit sketchers shoes I had in the past had a hollow sole that blew out in a few weeks, the leather was painted on and wore within a week or so to reveal a orange plastic-like material underneath. These Lugz had none of those characteristics, but again check who is selling you the shoe before ordering.
