I haven't had any issues with these so far, although I've only worn them a few times. The tongue looked a bit worn on one boot when I got them for some reason. You'll definitely need to polish these as soon as you get them, they look a bit green until they've been polished. Also, order these a size smaller than what you normally wear, they seem to run large. I typically wear a size 9, but I needed an 8 for these.
