My partner got a credit card with them a year ago and recently they changed it to a Citi card. But since the massive change in quality(outsourced manufacturing) and radically changed return policy.I dont know anymore. I felt justified in paying the high price for the products with the guarantee if it ever fucked up I had made the investment to get it replaced if it malfunctioned. I'd invest in a better pack and I'd pay accordingly. Whenever it had a minor break in the zipper or strap rip they'd just give me a gift card. Hell, I still have my back pack from the company.

Conclusion: At the price I paid, in my situation (buying several pairs of good shoes recently/soon) I'm pretty happy with this pair of boots and the Bean guarantee.This doesn't destroy the value of the boots by any means, but does limit their usefulness. The insole and the cork nitrile outsole don't really do enough to mitigate the problem. it's hard and extended wearing (my only decent shoes on a week+ vacation) definitely effected the bottoms of my feet. You get a strong boot feel, but no real struggle in break in. The soles have some heft and resistance to them, but aren't stiff. New, the leather upper was thick, lightly greasy & supple and they had enough give to be appropriately (rather than surprisingly) snug after a few days. A week's wearing demonstrated that the cork nitrile outsole was a pretty low profile, but tough & versatile interface with the ground-good grip in the wet, somewhat yielding on pavement, not bad in light snow. Which was lucky, as I too like the general look of them, and a day's wearing demonstrated that this was OK snug. But, my wife liked the greasy black finish of the upper (reminding her of the similar finish on an old pair of Doc Martens) and the general cut of their jib, so they got a reprieve. There's also a messed up stitch on the outsole. That and the surprisingly snug fit of the wides almost had me sending them back. Out of box I was a bit disappointed in the V-bar outsole, which initially struck me as cheap. Laces are the cord type rather than the flats that come with the service boot. So you get thick, black full-grain (my bet imported) leather uppers, a removable synthetic insole, some kind of solid foam rubber footbed below that, and a Vibram V-Bar cork-nitrile outsole. More other: Like the Bean toe-caps, these are manufactured by Chippewa, but are essentially the same (judging by detailed reviews) as their Service Boot. I have nearly an inch of extra space in the toe, which is fine, but nothing to spare in terms of width with medium wool socks. More on Sizing: I'm Brannock 10 wide, and these fit so I'd say true to size, but, read on: They run a bit long for 10s, but are a bit on the narrow side for EEs imo.
