I bought these a couple weeks back on a Black Friday deal because my trusty boots were at the end of the line. My favourite pair of boots were Mexican made, and they've really stood up to the test of time, so I was interested to see how these would match up. I had some concerns as my last pair of Ariats (Tombstones) weren't impressive at all, and really only lasted about a year and a half before they kicked the bucket. Immediately, I can tell you these feel much better made. The roughout is supple, yet sturdy. The stitching on the shaft is vibrant and hardy. Sizing is fairly true, as well. The only thing I would note is that the shaft is definitely on the slimmer side. My calves are pretty average and they fit just right, but anyone on the larger end might have some issues. Once the snow is gone, its time to put these things to work on the daily.
