    FYI

    Found/bought a couple pair of boots Made in USA
    Was so surprised to see "American Built" on the boot, I bought them :)

    Got a pair of Keen Braddock steel toe for work/wood cutting

    &

    Then ordered a pair of waterproof , Keen Durand Polar Shell for hiking/hunting .
    Been using them working in the "muskeg" at moose camp, comfortable & water proof
    Like them a lot (also made in the USA) :yes:

    The thing I worry about buying online is the fit, not all shoes, boots are the same.

    Yes I do I read the reviews , and Sierra Trading post has alerts if they run small or true to size . in my experience I've had no problems , and I have a small size 7.5 not always available in the boot I want I get an 8 and it has worked great for me . STP has a great return policy , I've never had to use it , but it's my go to site to buy boots and clothes :thumbs::cheers:

    They are not insulated , but I will be wearing them in the cold , and my feet will get cold if I'm not moving around . They are pure leather , glove soft on the inside . I love Aloso brand boots

    I had a pair of mic keen sandals that fell apart, thru Amazon
    Keen sent me a new pair , free
    made in Vietnam , which are still holding up
    Good customer service

    Can go to Keen web site & order thru them directly
    & be sure you get the most current model.

    Many times, Amazon sells 2-3-4 year old models of stuff
    at a lower price

    Asolo makes a great boot, and they seem to fit true, pair to pair. I always use up the tread before the upper falls apart, I live in the 520's.
