Just putting the CAT brand on something does not equate to quality.  (Frankly, I'm shocked they would cheapen their brand in this manner.)

The boots are made of extremely hard & thin leather.  Not comfortable.  Does not conform to your foot over time like quality leather.  They are collecting dust on my shelf.  I graduated from this extremely low quality boot to a pair of Timberlands (average quality) to a pair of Wolverines.  I'll never buy anything but Wolverine going forward.
