I bought the Pajar boots in an outdoor store in Vermont. They were expensive, but I was ok with the price. Initially, I really liked the look and uniqueness. However, after wearing them for just one season, they started leaking in the toe. My sock was wet in just a few minutes. This was not a puncture and was clearly an issue with the seams. I reached out to the company online and they refused to address my concern and were down right dismissive. Don't buy these products. I will stick to Patagonia and Arcteryx who have excellent no questions asked return policies. There are plenty of reputable companies out there that value their customers more than Pajar. Lesson learned.
