I bought these boots for work, I work at a metal cutting company so i put alot of abuse one my boots. I got these because I've always heard good things about the brand and that they are made in U.S.A. I've been wearing them for a month now n they are comfortable, but it took almost three weeks to break them in and it takes some time to get used to the high heel if never wore loggers before. The soles are Vibram which are the best soles made the leather is tough, but the eyelets arnt the best quality. Overall they are great boots and i would  recommend to a friend , they will keep your feet safe in most any hazardous environment.
