These are my 3rd pair.  These are my main footwear and I do everything in them.  Including beating them to death doing work, working on vehicles hunting etc.  I have tried many different brands including Durango, Red Wing, Justin, etc.  None of them last longer than a year.  My last pair of this same exact style (thus why I purchased these) I replaced 2 heals in them.  Its too expensive to replace the entire sole and so I just buy them when the toes wear out.  Love them!!!  Feels like walking on clouds.
