These are good solid all around boots.  I've only had this pair for a couple months, but so far they react just like my old issue boots.  Be ready for a week or so of break in, but once that is over you will have a good solid hard charging pair of boots that will not let you down.

No insulation in these so don't stay out too long if it's real cold.

If I have a negative to say it is that on snow and ice these boots can be slippery due to the tread design.  Even so, I've worn boots identical to these for more than 5 Michigan winters and summers with no problems.
