I bought theses boots in Nov of 2016 for about $95. Yesterday 02/2018 in notice the seam on the bottom of the boot where it connects to the sole is blown out on one boot and showing wear on the other. The boots are light weight, warm and comfortable, but I'm disappointed in how long they lasted for the amount I paid for them. Will probably not consider another pair. I live in Vermont and need something that can survive more than one winter.
