Sometimes these two statements don't go together but I've noticed that there are quite a few products that are Made in China and also High Quality and this is one. I think it depends on how well the company controls the materials and the manufacturing process used, as well as the design.

These are superior boots for extreme conditions. I usually order 1 size up and 1 width up from my measured foot size and these fit like a glove with thick socks and no bottoming out in the toe cavity. But there's enough wiggle room to not flatten the boot /sock insulation too much. The footprint is exactly the same as my walking shoes, but they do weigh more by at least 2-3X, anyway thanks to Irish Setter for providing an excellent boot in the larger sizes and widths than the common 14M limit.

I decided to return these because the Amazon pricing isn't as competitive as usual, the price had been bothering me a great deal but I finally found a good deal at the shoe factory. So this initial review is on fit and construction. The update on use will have to wait including answering the question "Can I drive a car with these boots on?" (probably not).
