"I had a short love/hate relationship with these boots. I got them
                          last summer, and they held up about as well as a $6 pair of
                          sneakers. The good news is that before they came unstitched and
                          got holes in the liner they worked fabulously. Never got a blister,
                          and when properly treated were as water proof as a beaver. I
                          ended up exchanging them for a pair of Raichle Mountain
                          Trekkers, which had better hold up better, or Raichle has sold me
                          the last pair of boots I'll ever buy from them. Grade: C- (work
                          well, don't last)"
