The shoes fell apart after 4 months I wore in mud & rain everyday for most of last summer. My feet were wet I didn't mind that, that is why I had camp fires every night. I put A 20'x 20' tarp around 12'to 15'  from the ground and had fires every night rain or shine I used the to dry myself, clothes & shoes & to cook dinner every night. I wore these while building a log cabin. the sole separated from the leather.
