I bought these boots last year and used them on about 8 hiking trips in the last 8 months. Each hiking trip lasted about 5-8 miles and these boots have worked perfect. Very comfy right out of the package and very durable, absolutely no complaints. Great buy!

UPDATE: I have had these boot for 2 years and they will not die, these boots are beasts. No tears and everything is intact, I wear these all the time, hikes, yard work, I own some acres in OK and I wear them there while hunting and chainsawing and building cabins. This is a great boot!
