Seem well constructed... For China.  Come on Dan Post!  Make these in America will you?  They fit great, seem rugged, amazingly they aren't hot.  I wore them in Central America with thin wool socks and my feet didn't sweat.  Much better that goretex I think.  They weren't hard or painful to break in either.  I'm not a fan of anything made in China but these fit so well and looked good that I caved in and bought them.  I first tried them on at a boot store and then purchased on Amazon.  Considering the country of origin they are over priced.  I'd expect to pay this amount for a product made in America.  That is the only reason for losing a star.  Time will tell how long they last...
