Chippewa Apache Lace-Up Work Boots for Men - Durable Leather Steel Toe Construction - Perfect for Construction, Hiking & Outdoor Work

I rated it 4/5 because the first pair that I received seems like it was from a different production lot and was poorly made compared to the second pair I received.The leather had some funky discolouration going on, some loose threads and the leather piece that was sewn to the vibram sole was all banged up. The box had a tear in it and the soles were dirty, so I suspect that someone else had tried it before me.Also, the sizing was weird, Amazon stated that size 8 was a 41 but on the box it was a 41.5.I sent requested to get sent back and as usual, Amazon's customer service was excellent, and they made the process a easy and fuss free one.I exchanged it for a half a size down and it now fits perfect. The boots came in a totally different box, I guess its the new lot of production because the previously mentioned leather pieces were looking much better. It had its edge bevelled and it was without kinks and a weird coat like the previous ones. The boots were also very comfortable the moment I put it on which is great as breaking into them will be a much less painful experience.Overall, I must say I am very impressed with the boots that I have now as well as Amazon's AMAZING customer service.EDIT: After wearing it several times, I found out that the leather on the boots though it looked amazing, it was somewhat inconsistent. One side was stiffer than the other, making the two boots feel as if it they were of different sizes. The creases set in differently as well which kinda bothered me but I can live with that. The tongue of the boot for the soft side does not stay in the middle, it starts to shift to the left which is really irritating.
