    At that price they are way cheaper than the 3-400 buck boots that I just can't get a year out of.
    Have no idea what the name of the he current set is and don't care. They work.
    Yep I agree. I wear a pair every day. They are the most comfortable boot I've ever owned. I managed to get them cheaper than normal, not sure about having to pay full retail next time...

    Mine have given me a good run, but not sure if they're that much better than other manufacturers to warrant the other $200.
