I didn't buy these boots on amazon. However these are the best work boots I ever had. I work at a chemical plant and let me tell you i put these boots through hell and back. I walk around poison chemicals that normally destroy a good pair of boots in two or three months time. I had these boots for over half a year. They also feel great. My feet don't feel sore at the end of the day. they have a great grip, I never felt like I was going to slip. The boot lace hold up as well. Normally I have laces that rib after the first month. I still have the original laces. Over all great pair of boots. Totally recommended them and will be buying them again
