I dig these boots. They are comfortable, easy to get on and off, they clean up nice and they have lasted me a while already. Blundstones are from NZ I believe, they cost a little more than your average boot but the quality is there. I usually run through shoes and boots pretty quickly, I do a lot of work outside and in bad conditions sometimes and these boots have stood up to a lot while still looking sharp. Definitely would buy again and that makes them qualified for this sub.
