My 20-something son wears this boots year-around (don't ask!), and we are buying this particular model practically on a loop! Sole is a bit thin and with almost every day wear last intact about a year, which is not bad at all! Modern, classy looking - it's Diesel - enough said! Only downside is that (maybe due to high demand) it is sort of pricey, and price is not going down despite the fact that it is not a very new model. Oh, it is also very comfy - my son has very sensitive feet, yet there is no blisters or discomfort of any kind.
