So far so good for now.  I received these 2 days ago, have worn them twice so far (each time for a total of almost 2 miles of walking).  The first day, my feet hurt a little bit after I got home, but that could probably be because I wore them to walk almost 2 miles without properly breaking them in first.  When I purchased them, I did see reviews about how some people experienced bleeding on their heels from the boots.  I had no such problems.  I wear a size 8, they are decently snug, with just enough room for me to tuck my pants down inside.  All in all, very pleased so far with these boots, and well worth what I paid for them.
