I really like these boots. The lace system, haven't had a single blister wearing them, the height, how they hug my ankle, and how lightweight they are. I’ve had them for about 4 months. Been on a few desert fires, a few Rx burns, fuels work, and finally on one roll with the IHC I work for. The ONLY issue is the sole/rind started to gap and rip on the right boot pretty early. For that reason I cannot give them 5 stars. I tried super glue, and shoe goo. But I think that the amount of hot dirty work hotshots do did them in. If you want a good pair of lightweight comfortable boots then these are a good buy.
