Had these boots for 8 months and they have been the best boots I've ever owned , they are comfortable like a tennis shoe, fairly light, and the soles seem to last and leather is very soft and durable. The kicker is the back heal where there is the black material,It kills the whole boot, at 6 months they where cracking and at 8 months I could take the insoles out without taking off my boots. I have heard they are fixing the issue by going back to leather, but the other kicker is, they make it in a leather heel vent shaft non steel toe (which i have to have) and they make it in a steel toe non vent shaft water proof(which are hot). But not a vent shaft steel toe with a leather heal ,they still have the black material that failed on me in that configuration. This is a huge bummer because I loved these boots but can't replace it every 8 months. If they fix it I will buy these forever. Until then ariat it is.
