My first pair of these boots lasted several years.  These particular sloggers I just had to have and I got a great price on them.  These are good for working in the garden and yard, even walking the dog on wet days or walking through high grass.  I love the Sloggers brand as they are true to size for me.  They are not big and bulky with big lug soles like some other brands.  I still have my first pair of Sloggers; they are slightly worn from much use but do not leak and are in good shape.  I like that you can just pull them on if you need to run outside for something.
