I wanted to like these boots, but they fell far short of the 977 model (discontinued).

Many people mentioned sizing problems, but I found them to fit me exactly as well as the 977 did. No complaints from me on that account. They used to feel great on my feet!

However ... I've worn them less than a dozen times, and they are falling apart. The sole is peeling off the front toe on one boot. Inside the other boot, the entire lining is loose. Not just the sole, the entire fabric 'sock' has separated from the walls.

Not good at all.
