I just received these boots today already i can tell just how well they are made i'd say on par with red wing. they are very comfortable and it looks like they will last for years. The best part is that they are 100% made in the good ole U.S.A. I am very glad I discovered these boots on Amazon because they don't sell them in stores in my area. Be sure to order a half size smaller I normally wear a 12 but in these i'm a 11.5 .
