I bought these on a whim several years ago and wore them near daily for several years before I wore holes in them. They stood up to an enormous amount of wear before giving out. The leather is sturdy and the shoe is very well-made. They are immensely comfortable. There is almost no arch support, but the footbed is very soft and great for standing in for long periods of time. These run true to size, but they are somewhat narrow. So if you have very wide feet, these may not be for you. These are meant to be a little snug (not uncomfortable) at first as the leather does stretch over time. The studs are on very securely and despite having worn them until they wore out the studs stayed firmly in place. The tread on these is fantastic, with small bumps on the bottoms of the soles that provide incredible grip. I wear these in winter sometimes and feel comfortable walking down icy stairwells.

My two complaints are minor, one is that the little ties at the top are far too long, but they can be trimmed. The other is that if the insides of the shoes get wet, your feet turn bright orange! Do don't wear these when it's wet out unless you enjoy glowing feet.
