Normally, those are like $300 plus a pair. Since the boots were so cheap, our department bought everyone a new set who wanted one as our boots are actually only rated to be worn for so many years before it is mandated they are to be replaced regardless of wear. Anyway, our department got everyone boots. Two months later all the boots bought were scrapped as they were all defective. Typical, American company that moves operations to China to maximize profits and pays its consumers back with new "improved" total crap products.
