Danny, you couldn't have made a better choice on the boots been wearing them for a yr now. They feel as good as the day I bought them, even better. Bought them for work & found that they are great for riding in. I did get the zippers to replace the laces, because my feet are a bit big to use the side zippers with comfort. Did get the extra thick inner soles too. They wear like there is no tomorrow, they only get better as the break in.
