I bought my first pair of these in December of 2014.  I paid just over $20 for them and wanted to get cheap ones because I'd never really worn boots much.  I wore the hell out of them!  They have a wide toe box that is super-comfortable and there was not a break-in period.  They were comfortable from day-one.  The sole wore thin and started to pull away on one boot so I bought a replacement pair in March 2018.  These feel cheaper than the first pair--though I paid twice as much for them.  Hopefully, I will get 3 seasons out of these as well.  I also have them in brown suede, though I don't wear them nearly as much as I do the black ones.
