I bought these boots about 3 months ago. I was worried because my first time wearing them would be on a hiking trip in Belize - I was hoping and pray g that they broke in quickly. They were fairly comfortable right out of the box.

Now for the most important parts. I was going to post pictures of how the toe had started to peel after just a few weeks, then yesterday the right shoe split open. But people have already posted photos of just that - so obviously it's a common problem. I expect to get more than 3 months out of a $130 pair of shoes.
