This is my second pair in 3 years. The first one is still alive and well, just scuffed a little, but I could not pass the deal. I paid over $90 for the first one. After I received my pair, I realized that the manufacturer made some improvements over the old model and corrected the only thing that annoyed me before: laces loops were too small and shredded my laces after every season. This is now corrected and I love them even more. This is very comfortable boot for hunting and hiking, I wore them for 12 hours straight without any discomfort. Just get them  size larger to allow for thick socks and/or extra insole. Otherwise they are true to size for every day wear. Great product!
