I got my boots for ~$100 and would have still paid full price for these even if they hadn't been on sale.  Obviously happy with the boots and the quality and the comfort of these were spot on with the reviews I read from others.  One additional nice surprise was heel/ankle support that keeps my heel from slipping in these larger form factor boots.  Great boot, super warm, water proof and comfortable - makes them a "no-brainer" purchase choice in my book.
