These is my 4 th pair, I'm an industrial maintenance tech and use them for every day work, before I used these, bought Wolverine, Caterpillar, Converse, Red Wing and some other Timberland but none equals the confort of these, got between 8 to 12 months out of them each time. The only problem I see is the soles separate from the inside the shoe and make noise when steping, (reason why I repalce them) other than that no complains. Loking to buy a new pair of safety shoes but have not found nothing like it I guess will have to buy my 5 th pair.
