do they look like theyll handle the hard use? and what sort of weight are they?

They appear to be real well made. I have hunted in Bullers for near 20yrs, but last year I lost both big toenails through a combination of hot feet, feet moving forward in the boot going downhill and 10 days straight hunting. I have been searching for a leather boot with a rubber sole, as opposed to plastic, a proper heal and light weight.
I saw these boots on display, away from the Rusa, Mendle and others now promoted as hunting boots section, in The Outdoorsman.
I wore them for the first hunt yesterday and they were great. My feet are no longer moving around inside my boots.
I always wear Dryline neoprene puttys over my Bullers and wore them over my Eccos.
I've got boots that cost over $100 sitting unused as they don't suit, so was happy to pay $449 but got them for $335.
If you are after a hunting boot, I suggest you give Ecco Biom Hikers a try on.
