Tough, good-looking boot with good tread. Warmer than tennis shoes. A composite toe is definitely an improvement in technology over a steel toe, although I've found that having a hard case around my toes means that I can't wriggle my toes during the day (kind of annoying and toe-claustrophobic).

Annoyances:
The laces are extremely slippery, and will let out slack when you're tying the boots up unless you keep cinching up a death-grip on them as you move up the ... um ... lace holes (vocabulary lacking here). I've recently ditched the laces and replaced then with gutted (authentic) nylon paracord.

The tongue of the boot never seems to sit centered, and wants to sit on one side. Probably not a big deal, but not perfectly symmetrical, and therefore a slight bother to someone as obsessive-compulsive as myself.

Great boot overall, though.
