This is a good boot. I have had them for 2months. Looks like it is put together very well except for the second time I wore them the pull tabs on the back of the boot came loose. As far as the construction of the boot they seem very solid. My Steve Madden rain boots got holes in them after only a year of regular wear ($50).  I have gotten numerous compliments on these. They have a recycling program. When your boots are un wearable you send them back to the company and they recycle them for you! I really like that. When you hold the boot up to the light they are semi transparent and you can see there is some kind of mesh throughout the boot. I have never seen a rain boot that had anything  like that. Perhaps this is going to keep them from getting holes in them? Not sure but it seems like a GREAT boot for the price. Mine were $40.
