I use these as an everyday water resistant work boot (landscaping) and they are extremely durable and comfortable. I've had them for about a year now and they barely show signs of wear on the leather uppers. I applied some kiwi polish to them recently and they look great. I'm sure the sole will wear out long before the rest of the boot. They also keep my feet dry in wet grass and snow. The only issue I have is on hot days my feet get pretty warm in them. I'd definitely recommend them.
