"2 years and they're DEAD. . . poor quality boots.
I usually go to the mountains about 2 times a week, 6-8 hrs excursions. . . it doesn't seem this much!!

In these 2 years I had to get them repaired 2 times. Customer service working fine (quick and professional) but now, as both the soles are opening (front side)."

"Great boots. Comfortable yet rugged. I use these for hiking, caving and landscaping work, and they are the best boots I've owned.

The only drawback is they are made in China."

"The boots seem to be a solid boot. After looking for several days I finally found a nice fitting boot. I was looking forward to wearing and I've have worn now for a week or so.

My big complaint is the made in China on the box. After the green feet and membership for REI they tipped the scale at $231 for a boot made in China."
