Great workmanship. Took a little breaking in. Initially, the junction where the steel toe ended rubbed a bit, but that's natural for boots. Good boots require breaking in, so I was expecting some level of discomfort initially. After a couple of days of light wear, they felt absolutely great. Really light weight, good "grippy" sole. Speed lacing is great (I just slip 'em on untied for short stomps around the garage, and tie 'em up proper when I take our beasts for a walk). Nice, wide and comfortable boot collar (why I was drawn to them initially). I've got another pair of Belleville's -- the Air Force "waterproof"/Gortex'd version -- fit is pretty much identical (a half size lower and a width larger than I normally wear fits me perfect with this manufacturer).  Made in USA, so rewarding great workmanship and promoting our economy here was icing on the cake. My wife'll think I'm a little nutty, but I'm looking for an excuse to by another pair of Bellevilles, and from the same seller as well.
