I had been eyeing a pair of these kinds of boots for a while, but didn't want to spend the $149+ that so many others were asking locally. Never heard of 'Polar Fox,' but the price was right, and figured I could send them back if there was an issue, right?Professionally packaged in standard cardboard box with logo on top. Opened to find these boots new, clean, and in perfect shape. Slightly stiff (expected) upon first wear, but easy to put on with side-zipper access. Boot are clean, sturdy, and have great stitching throughout. Buckles are chromed and shiny. I'm a 10 1/2 in most all sizes, but these fit a bit more close to an 11 to me. There is some notable roominess in the toe area of the boots, and some play in the heel area, but not much. Perhaps some thicker socks to increase the snugness will do the trick.After wearing for a few weeks now, I can say they are quite comfortable, durable, and definitely worth the money. They are certainly eye-catchers, and have very cool styling. The interior is well-lined and comfortable, and the materials are VERY durable for just about any environment. All-in-all, they are a great pair of boots. I would highly recommend!
