Ramsey Outdoor had the best price by far and shipped the item out very quickly.  We've had a fair amount of snow for our area -- Baltimore -- and these boots are great.  Fantastic value for $30 if they hold up.  They seem to be pretty hearty but the lower and a good portion of the upper are plastic so it all depends on suceptibility to cracking.  The compound is a touch hard so traction on rocks or ice may be suspect but there are gripping ridges on the edges.  The leather on the ankle seems hearty enough and the insulation is warm.  Assuming they last, I'll be extremely pleased!
