2nd pair purchased.  First pair lasted 3yrs.  They still function well they've just taken a cosmetic beating.  These are my teenage daughter's daily year round kicks.  She's pretty rough on her gear which is why I went with the Timberland brand to begin with.  They haven't let her down yet.  This boot has stood up to everything she's thrown at em' from winter and summer hiking, ice fishing and her high school hallways.  Great all season boot (Midwest U.S.A.) that stands the test of time.
