Good boots.  One thing to be aware of- ensure you loosen the laces enough to pull your foot out easily as you will tear up the heel portion at the inside back of the boot.  This can wear on your achilles area and give you blisters.  I have worn these boots for near 100 miles of up and down hiking and other than what I previously mentioned they are in perfect shape.  My boots from the military did not have the lining that these do, so I was unfamiliar with the complications with being too lazy to loosed the laces.  So, the fault is mine and not the designs.
