text: Bought these 5 months ago so this review may come i handy for those of you thinking of purchasing. 1st these boots looked really nice when they arrived but they are not made as well as they look. Eye holes for the laces had small sharp pieces of metal around them. Cut my had open then had to take a metal file to them just so they wouldn't tear my laces. After the first two months, the inside cushion became worn in which is to be expected, but not to the point where you feel a nail or staple in the heel of your foot!  I have a callus now where my heel was constantly on that staple. Couldn't really afford to go out and but new boots right away so I suffered for these past 3 months. Bought new boots yesterday. I should have just spent the extra money for a quality name boot the first time around. The only plus is that the leather stood up to the demands of my welding job but you have to have comfort too, being on your feet all day.
