Just wore them for the first time yesterday, so can't speak to durability.  But I really quite like them.  I have very wide feet, so they were a bit snug, especially where the seam crosses the foot, but loosened up a bit as I walked around them.  I could wish the toes were rounder.  The color is great, exactly as pictured and I love the zipper closure; it's so much easier than trying to struggle and pull on the laces.  I didn't use the pocket; other than perhaps to stash a key, I don't think it'd be terribly helpful; the curvature of your foot might bend a credit card and at my age, it would require more agility than I have, haha.  Overall, great boots.
