I bought these at the PX at Fort Knox in early 2008 for airborne school and have absolutely loved them.  After all this time of near constant use, my only complaint is that the laces that they came with them were short, so you had to partially unlace them to get them on and off.  I have since replaced the original laces (they wore out) with longer ones and it was definitely an improvement.  So after everything, the only damage on the boots is: a small tear in the side leather on the inner side of one boot, a small tear along the sole stitching on the outer edge of the same boot, and the sole is almost worn flat.  Altogether they've held up exceptionally well.  The insole is still original and STILL in good condition, and the boots are some of the most comfortable I own, even now.  I've never gotten a blister, and even after long plane rides and drives they been comfortable, and I never had to break them in.  They've been all-around great boots and I'm getting another pair to replace these very soon.
