So far I love these boots.  They are very comfortable.  Love they way they look and feel. The are a lot lighter than my last pair which were Milwaukee.  I also like the height in keeping my legs covered when the wind rides up my pant leg.  I saw other reviews complaining about the sole splitting.  I guess I will have to see.  I only have worn them twice now so I am hoping for the best.  I hope they last for a few years before I have to buy another pair of boots.  I really don't want to have to go back to the Milwaukee pair, they are SO Heavy.
