So far so good. I work commercial demolition and I go through boots like no tomorrow. I am constantly walking on rubble concrete, brick, metal, mud, dirt, really anything you can think of. I am always needing to use the steel toe to kick something. Cutting with a demo saw, cutting with oxy acetylene, stick welding, concrete work and a lot more abuse. Just wanted to givce you an idea of the abuse that these boots get daily, and so far they have held up way better than I expected. I ate up the original laces in about 1 week and had to buy better ones but other than that they look alright. The first day I got them they looked amazing, I kept getting compliments about how nice they looked, too nice for work almost lol. As soon as I put them on they fit and felt pretty good. If you buy these I highly highly recommend buying some Dr. Scholls work insoles . So basically what I'm trying to say is if you need a good pair of nice work boots that are going to work with you not against you and don't want to spend 3 days pay on a pair of boots, I highly recommend you purchase these boots.
