I've had 3 pairs of these boots. First 2 were amazing, 5 stars. The second pair lasted me almost 5 years of daily use. Keep in mind I use my boots for EVERYTHING, I ruck in them, exercise, run, work, sports and go out in them. Boots are perfect footwear in my opinion, suitable for any activity, I've even gone swimming in them and I treat them as such. but this pair I just ordered a week ago aren't the same. The quality and consistency of this pair is honestly bad, which sucks because I think these boots are easily one of the best (price, style, features and quality) that Georgia boots make. Unfortunately, the right boot is bigger than the left. It's a noticably loose fit. My heal on my right foot rubs up and down in the boot. Also, the upper of the boots seems to have been made using less material or maybe just mistakenly cut too much. Typically, in a good boot, when lacing your boots the upper will overlap the tongue on both sides giving you good coverage, keeping out dirt, sand or just debris in general. The 1st 2 pair I had did this. The new pair doesn't. The edges of the tongue don't reach the edges of the upper unless I force them too, which would make them too tight or if I was a stick figure, I'm not, I keep in shape. My experience along with the other reviews on this website prove that Georgia makes some quality boots but their consistency and quality control really needs attention given to it. No one like a crapshoot. In the pictures you can clearly see both boots are the same size but one is clearly bigger than the other as well as the fact that on the upper where the lace hooks are, they reach around further towards the front to give you that overlap that you're looking for. On the plus side, for almost 5 year old boots they've held up amazingly well considering how use them.
