Unfortunately I actually got these for work and was hoping that they would be able to hold out for at least a year but I already have water coming through. I don't work in a wet area but from time to time I would have to walk through standing water and was hoping that this would do the job since it stated heavy duty work shoes. My friends did make statements as to how shiny they were but that's the best that they could do. Catching people's eyes is the easy part but keeping water out is a different story. If you're looking for actual work shoes, I would look somewhere else with a better quality built to them. I've been trying to find out where the water comes in but can't seem to find it either.
