@jluc I finally caved and picked up a pair of these boots. I couldn't turn down free shipping and the Black Friday discount. I had to recruit my sister to get a pair for her husband to hit the minimum purchase amount. The company is a bit of a market disruptor as they use quality materials and construction methods, but the manufacturing is done in China. I was hesitant at first, but the reviews on them are generally very good.
I'm not gonna cut mine in half like this guy, but this video shows their build quality. Mine will have chromexcel leather with rubber soles (hopefully good for winter). The shoes in the video are veg tan leather with leather soles.
