I bought these for my husband in law enforcement.  He loves the way these boots feel on his feet during shift.  The only issue he has had, is that the tongue seam in the middle of the tongue keep coming undone.  He returned the first set of boots only after a week because of the thread coming undone, then he got the replacement pair, and after a month, the thread came undone again in the same spot on the tongue.  He decided to keep them anyways because he liked the boots.  The onyl reason I gave this 4 starts instead of 5 was because the tongue thread keeps coming undone.
