After looking for a new pair of boots, I decided on these for the price.  I would love to have a pair of Frye, Redwing or Wolverine boots, but I can't force myself to drop $300 on a pair of shoes!
First, shipping was fast and free because I'm an Amazon Prime member.  Prime has been a extraordinary tool for my family to save on shipping to Alaska.  I ordered the boots on a Sunday and received them on Tuesday!  If I would have paid for 2 day shipping to Alaska, it would have easily been $20-$30!
Second, fit and finish of seems very good.  No scuffs or scratches out of the box.  The leather looks and feels very sturdy.  Its thick, but flexible around the ankle.  Wearing them around the house for a few hours did result in a bit of discomfort, but any boot has to go through a break-in period.  The color was very true to the photo on Amazon.  Its a nice shade of brown, with a mildly mottled look on the toe.  I ordered a D width, but they do seem to be more narrow than other boots I've ordered.  For me, that's great.  I have a slightly more narrow foot than a D width, but living in an Arctic environment means layers of thick socks!
Before I wear these on a regular basis, I'll definitely waterproof them with Mink Oil or some other water proofing compound.  Overall, I think these boots are a better value than other boots in a similar category.
