I agree with the good things all the other reviews say.  I got these for the steel toe for safety when I use a chainsaw.  The neoprene upper is subject to tears.  I cut the top off an old pair of cheap boots and attached it on the outside with Shoe-goo to protect the uppers of the Muck boots.  You could buy gaiters but the gaiters cost more than a cheap pair of boots, especially a worn out pair of boots that are ready to be thrown away.  The rubber part of the boot sometimes gets pierced by sharp stumps.  I am currently using Aquaseal for repairs.  I tried Shoe Goo  but it didn't seem to adhere for long.  The sole came loose from a pair of Muck Wetland boots and I reattached it with Shoe Goo.  The repair lasted a long time.  These boots seem to be the same as the wetland boots except they are blacker, have a steel toe and the rubber goes up higher for better protection from sharp sticks.  These are made in China.  The outside rubber on the latest ones is slightly pebbled and I think it used to be smooth.
