I’ll just say at that price point it isn’t a good indicator that they would be that good. The stitching on the uppers for one thing doesn’t look that good at all as well as that leather. I guess it comes down to expectations but I wouldn’t expect these boots to be that durable and last that long under any kind of real use. That’s even an extremely low price point for third country manufacturers of Goodyear Welted Boots. You would have to cut corners somewhere.

I also have to say I‘m personally no fan of a fake capote boot that only consists of just stitching across the toe of a boot. But at that price point that’s only bound to be one of many cost cutting measures.
