I didn't expect much for the price but man was I wrong. They break in very very fast with minimal blisters unlike a lot of boots in this price range. Laces are durable and long enough. I actually lost the pain in my left foot switching to these boots. They could use better insoles though as these somewhat feel like cardboard kinda but after using them for a month or so I don't notice it unless I'm walking on the grated platforms at work, I can feel them through the soles. Can't feel stepping on rocks though, weird. Probably because of the tread design. 10/10 for me though. Would buy again for my next pair.
