We have 26 acres of land. We also have 3 dogs, they love to check out all 26 acres every day. So I do a lot of tromping over rough terrain. These shoes are great for that. I wear them year-round. They clean up easily with a damp paper towel. They are also comfortable, sometimes I forget I am not wearing my tennis shoes. I have had them for about 9 months and they are almost like new.
