These are the second pair of boots I have owned of this style.  My first pair are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn.  I wore the previous boots just about every day for the past 3 years.  Had to replace just due to wear of the sole, but still wearable in the field.  Only down side would be that the laces will wear out after about a year and I replaced with 550 cord and made my own laces.  Those are still being used.  These boots are light and comfortable.  Need a bit of breaking in, but once they are, they perform well.  Have used them in various conditions from street, to woods to sand, and all have done well.  A bit slippery on ice, more so than other boots.  boots are good for any temperature.  Hot or cold.  I recommend these boots to whomever asks about what boots to buy.
