Great made in the USA boots,better than the Mexican models which I do own also. USA models=rugged,tough,thicker leather,non slip soles. Will last almost forever. Mexico models=fashion,style,thinner leather,quicker break-in,won't last forever. I bought these engineer 1/2 smaller,like I did with my regular harness and belted harness boots. My mexico boots I had to return and order true size. Each model has it's purpose,can't go wrong with FRYE!!!
