Loved these boots.  First pair of boots I have owned that have made it from October to July of the next year.  Though I admit, I will need a new replacement for fall.  As some of the review stated, there is some minor flaking of material covering around the sole and the soles are separating from the boot.  However, first pair of boots I have had that didn't leak in the snow and rain the entire time.  Lucky, I caught these at a decent price and definitely got my money out of them as I did not wear another pair of shoes other than these boots from October to July of the next year, this year.  Just bought a pair of shoes because it is getting too hot for the boots.  Just in the nick of time too, because this week it went above 90 degrees.
