This has been an outstanding boot. My best friend and I purchased comparably priced boots at the same time about 6 years ago. We travel off trail, through sharp sierra granite and extended periods in water and snow, averaging about 30 days a year. His boots are in the trash, my sundowners look practically new. They are warm, rugged, and suprisingly comfortable. You can bet that I'll buy another pair (in ten years or so when mine wear out).
