Vibram soles are a plus on these and the Vibram laminate part is only about 3/8" thick over another type of rubber which is a surprise but my boots has a lump on the right toe between the leather and steel cap. There is also some noticeable lumps inside at the small toe area where the leather pieces where they all come together which will wear out the lining and my toes. Should have been smoothed down first. The upper portion of the boot is extremely soft which some may prefer, but I feel too thin to properly protect the ankle yet feels better than thick leather. Beneath the insole it's hard like wood so I can put more insole comfort in there. Left boot is fine, no lumps inside. I'll put a water patch on a shoe mold at the lump inside to try and get it to smooth out.
All in all they're not bad, just should have mentioned the slight defects. I would have bought from Wellco directly. Shipping was fast and transaction was smooth. I'll buy from opticsplanet again maybe.
