So far these boots are great. I did order a 1/2 size bigger. The soles, stitching, etc seems to be good quality. My only issue at this point is that the instep seems to be super snug so I have to totally unpack to accommodate an easier insertion of my feet. I'm hoping with prolonged wear they will stretch in this area. I  really think they could have changed they way they stitch in this area because I surely can't be the only person with this problem?
I am really concerned about the soles at this point due to the responses of some of the other reviewer's issues in this area.
We'll see how it goes. If it does happen, hopeful it happens within warranty period.....
