"Guess what, these were my second pair of boots. And all I have
to say is that I love one piece leather. They never leaked and held
up great. I used them to go all over the Yukon for three weeks in
creeks, alders, boulders and snow and they worked great. You
would think that after all that the soles would wear down some,
but they still have deep treads on them. But I guess since this is a
review I should tell some cons. The metal eyes that the shoelaces
go through tend to be sharp, so they cut my shoelaces a couple of
times. That is the bad thing about them. These are great boots, but
if you are just going to go day hiking or stuff on trails, save your
money."
