Ya'll, I have put these things through some sh*t. let me explain. The day these boots got here, I put them on my feet & went straight outside to work. I dug in them, wore them while building my chicken coop, ive worn them in the rain & in the mud. this is literally the only footware I own. I put them on when I get up & take them off when it's shower & bed time. Their a great (surprised the crap out of me) heavy, well made tough ass pair of boots. As a women it's so freaking hard to find a pair of boots to actually use to work in & not just for oh! "pretty boots" ? but these things have held up freaking fantastically & I can promise you I put them through their paces before I dared make this review. All the stitching is done well, the bottoms are so far very secure & all in all I've no issue. The eyelets are holding up well as are the lace loops on the upper part. They stay tied well & I have only had one issue that was totally my fualt as I am a bigger called girl & hate to use my upper lace hole. So the last boot loop that was unused on the very top of my boot got hung once on something & bent outward. I bent it right back & havnt had an issue since. They are heavy & that first day from box to work went well over all, I did have a bit of a blister for on my heel that day, but after the leather broke in the next day or so there was no more issue with that. I think that's with any stiff new boot though. Over all they fit & wear very well. Will definitely buy another pair, their absolutely worth every penny to someone looking for a real work boot. *UPDATE* So as much as I still love the boots they wear great & are holding up well structurally but I have a couple of silly huffy things that bug me. So I thought I'd share. The boot is made of nice high grade leather, but for some reason they decided to cheap out on the fold at the top of the boot (pics are included) where the inside & outside of the boot meet at the top & use that cheap fake leatylher crap. Now mine is peeling off it has nothing to do with the wear of the boot, but It just bugs me. The laces are also cheap & freying already, I've purchased new laces to fix that though. All in all, still a great boot. But I literally have only this pair of boots, no other foot wear & wear them everyday. I am not easy on them either. So their a great boot for sure. Just my ocd kicking in on the peeling of the pleather. I'm finally ready to retire these for a new set. Only due to thw insole going flat & they have become to hard to walk in. I could have used these boots for much longer had I been smart & after marker insoles in when I purchased these. I could probably use them now & get some more wear out of them. However, due to an accident & these being the only pair of footwear I own I had to wear them while I was healing from a fractured ankles & it make thw right boot wear in a strange position. All in all, I love these boots and am starting to wear my new pair today. So this 3 months shy of a full year of everyday wear, hard working in these boots. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an actual work boot.
