Plainly put, this boot is comfortable, rugged and well designed. I use this boot for work in mainly outdoor environments on all types of surfaces. It has held together and gotten me through long 12-14 hour days. As with any shoe, the soles wear down, but this boot has lasted longer than any other boot I've owned. Oakley has always been expensive, but of a higher quality, so I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates getting what they pay for.
