Got these to replace my Pitboss model Timberlands.  It's nice to have full eyelets to the top for a better overall lacing/fit, and it surprisingly doesn' tmake them much harder to put on than the Pitboss style, which has the "hook" style catches for the top two rows of laces. They're also noticeably warmer (since they're insulated), but they'll probably be way too hot for temps above 70F.
