More reinforced stitching plus the steel plate is from the front to the back of the boot. They look the fairy similar to my original pair but the quality is somewhat different from the US military grade of footwear. So after examining the information I purchased a pair of the boots.

This is not always a bad thing perhaps just different that the original USA made boots.
