The boots look great, they are comfortable to wear. However, I have worn them for one trip over 5 days across some well worn tracks, in the English Lake District. The result after 5 days is the rubber at the front has split and chipped off and it has started to separate at several point around the front of the boot. I expect some wear and tear, but for this to happen after one week of walking is not good. I would not recommend this boot to anyone, save your money. I have bought boots half the price of these and they have lasted years. I thought I was buying the best and paid premium price for poor workmanship. Again avoid these boots, they could and should have been one of the best boots on the market. Very dissatisfied
