First off, I have worn these almost everyday for about 10 months. I haven't been kind to them at all. Rain, snow, ice, mud, and sand. They have held up decently. The tread is AWESOME. I've put them on steep sheets of ice and stuck to it. They are surprisingly water resistant. I started seeing cracks around the bottom and at the bend in the toes around 5 months. They are super comfortable out of box. I have wide feet and they fit great. I will buy these again but will shop around.
