Bought my first pair of Georgia boots two years ago. Loved them. Would still be wearing them if one of the seams didn't split and compromise the watertight integrity. Leather held up great! Soles had less than half wear. I wear boots everyday, all day. Very rarely will you find anything else on my feet. Put them through every conceivable outdoor situation you can imagine. These boots held up better than just good. Recently ordered this new pair. Couldn't be happier with the service and shipping time. Sizing was dead on. No break-in period! These boots are comfortable out of the box! Noticed they eliminated that seam that gave me trouble with the last pair (the one that goes from the bottom eyelet to the sole) and expect they will last even longer than the last pair. They're a little warm for October in NE Pennsylvania, but I know when the cold sets in, I'll be covered. Did some serious shopping before I made this purchase. Was a little concerned about the price till I did the math. If they only last me two years it works out to something like 20 cents a day. What the heck can you buy for 20 cents these days? I don't think twice about dropping a buck twenty five on a cup of coffee every morning....and what's more important than warm, dry, comfortable feet? Tough, strong, comfortable, durable work boots. If that's what you're looking for, look no further. I'd give them ten stars if that was an option. When I need another pair of boots, I won't need to shop around. I know where I'll be going. These folks have a customer for life.
