I've had these boots for a little over a year now (burnished brown, size 13) and think they look fantastic. Unfortunately, I've had to take them to my local shoe repair guy twice to sew the tongue back on; once for each boot. I'm also concerned with how quickly the soles seem to be wearing out. I only use them for hiking and driving to the slopes and the midfoot of both soles is already bald. Luckily, they can be resoled. Maybe it's just a one off incident with my boots, but I feel like boots that cost $160 should require a little more mileage before seams to start tearing and soles need repairing.

They do look pretty damn sexy though.
