Yeah, I've been looking for a good pair of duck boots, but I'm hearing so many horror stories about once great companies now producing second rate boots.

And there are so many reviewer websites nowadays that make money from those companies, so I have just kind of thrown up my hands and given up at this point.

I can tell you the insulation inserts are the same, the thickness of the twine used in the stichee is also the same. From what I can see & feel(I haven't measured) the sole thickness is the same. Rubber feels the same. If they went with something cheaper I can't attest to that. Only noticeable differences are in the band? On where they join the rubber of the sole to the upper toe portion looks thicker & taller the placement of the final extra material is in a different point too. Maybe that's even a good thing though? I don't think the leather is different- just aged adding color & the embellishments of the name brand are burnt? In vs being stitched on.
