I have only worn these a little bit so far but they seem very well made, are pretty lightweight and are WARM!  Metal lace rings/hooks, aggressive tread pattern.  I am pleased with my purchase but.....they must be returns from someone else?  There were some small salt stains on them and small amounts of dirt in the tread.  They are 99.9% new so I am keeping them.  Just a little disappointed that I paid for brand new boots and got some returns.  I guess that's gonna happen.  Not worth returning for it...relatively minor.  Just wanted to note it.
