Love the boots. This is the 3rd pair I've purchased from Northwest. My favourites are still my earlier Pelly boots. I agree with comments by others, i.e. the laces aren't the best quality. However, included in the box were a 2nd pair of laces, so problem solved. Note that all the boots I've purchased from Northwest have, in my opinion, insufficient arch support, therefore I've purchased inserts to make them more comfortable. In summary, a good pair of boots for the price
