Second pair.  First pair lasted a year.  i put neoprene inserts after a month once they were broke in.  Go on easy and have good support.  High quality, I wear size 12 and the fit was perfect.  The break in period is really non-existent.  Have used Georgia, Carhart, Wolverine, Carolina and others and I prefer these over them.  I have a pair i wear for good, a pair for in the woods and yard and a pair for work.
