shipment was delivered before the expected "arrival date" as i have said in other bearpaw reviews, i love them. they are pretty good quality one pair usually lasts me about a year, year 1/2. but i wear them everywhere, i wore them as house shoes until winter then i wore them pretty frequently ice fishing, water, also wore them to a mud bog. washed them when i got home just as good. they can take a beating. but Love this pair, love the color, very comfy, great price, strong boot.
