After wearing these for about 1 month, these are the most comfortable boots I have worn.  They look good and the soles have good traction even when on wet surfaces.  The only negative is the laces are so bad that one only lasted 3 weeks.  I would recommend just tossing the laces and buying some good kevlar or other heavy duty laces.  To me, the boots are good enough that I can't take a star away because of the poor quality laces.
