Bought my 1st pair about 9 months ago. I had bought other brands throughout the past..but they never fit right,or were made of cheap leather that would tear or the stitching unravelled. I use my boots for work..so they do get a beating and need to be sturdy. I found my pair on ee bay for $170.00-BRAND NEW in the box with the certificate of authenticity and all the labels. The boots have stood up unbelievably well-no splits or tears in the leather,the soles have just now started to wear. The buckles and straps are high quality. Best $170. Ive spent on a pair of boots. The leather is HIGH grade leather-thick.
 Great pair of boots for work. Ill never buy a pair made by a different company again.
