"An absolute steal for the price.
Construction-wise, they are goodyear welted, with rough-out leather top, which (as the description says) has been treated with tallow - so they have a "waxed rough-out" look. This also means that they are quite resistant to scuffs and do not require the usual full-grain-leather amount of care.
The recycled-tyre outsoles are functional: they have good grip and seem to be quite long lasting. The only downside is the tyre smell, which hangs on for a very long time.
I have replaced the supplied laces with leather ones, since the original ones do slide very easily in the eyelets, which was problematic when I was tying the boots more loosely.
Another change worth considering is replacing the top (or top two) eyelets with hooks, since they need to be de- and re-laced each time."
