I guess after careful deliberation I would classify myself as one of those guys who "happily hump 50-pound loads to ensure you have your creature comforts", however, these comforts usually consist of more ammo, more food, and more security, in the form of a grand first aid kit.

So what does this have to do with the boots? THEY PUT UP WITH ME!

I’m from Washington State and got these boots real cheaply at Wal-Mart to satisfy me for a 4 day backpacking trek while my others were being fixed. Well somehow these things survived all the hiking, water, mud and motorcycling I could put on em for a year now and still holding strong. I sprayed them pretty heavily with silicone as soon as I got them, just to be safe, and they still wash clean to this day.

As far as the seam splitting issues are concerned, this seems to be attributed to people with large, wide feat. Make sure you do get a boot that fits you properly. If your foot goes into the boot and expands the boot out at the edges far beyond the sole, this is not the boot for you. But if you have narrow, or just "normal" proportional feet, these should work well for ya.

For right around thirty bucks, who cares if they don’t out last the rest of your gear. But mine are kickn great, VERY comfortable (especially if you throw a dr scholls insole in em) and haven’t ripped a seam yet. A great buy. Would get another pair.
