theese boots are great boots. They may be made in China but that is no problem. I bought theese boots back in september for work at job corps from my late friend Mr Gary Fletcher who owned Fletcher's J Bar S. I bought them for a very good price and they have been the best boots I have ever had. I have allready mentioned that theese were made in China but the boots were made so well that they are no concern. durango has a set of quality test and they have passed mine im being trained as a cement mason and they have held up extremly well. job corps have issued me a pair of cat second shift steel toes. the farm and ranch boot beats the cats into the ground. they are much more comfortable, more warm, way more flexible, and just as protective in my eyes. The boots being made in China would knock a star but The durability cancels it out and I would definently buy theese boots again when theese boots get worn out
All In all The break down is like this
pros are:
Durability = 1 Star
Comfortable = 1 Star
Protective = 1 Star
Looks = 1 Star
Total 4 Stars
Cons :
Made in China ( while the boots may be made in China the Quality Tests and Durability ensure they have made a good quality boot)
= 1 Star
( so overall, in a con I would normally knock a point but in this case the boots were made so well I will Actually add a point )
Final Total 5/5 Stars, A Very Good Boot
