I've been wearing these boots for about three years now and they have held up very well. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned and are a lot better than many of the sneakers I've owned.

They run about 1 size larger than most other shoes so if you usually buy a size 10, the size 9 will most likely be what you need.

They come in WIDE widths! I am a size 10.5 EE, but even when I buy a shoe that says it's an EEEE, it still feels tight. The Converse C8877 in a 9.5 WIDE is just right and doesn't hurt my feet.

The zippers have held up well and they boots haven't torn, ripped, frayed, or fell apart like any other sub $100 boot I've owned. I walk through wet grass regularly and the occasional puddle and never had my feet get wet.

One boot rubbed my ankle during the first couple of weeks, but once broke in, there were no other issues.
I live in Florida and these boots are a bit warm during the summer, but are otherwise comfortable enough that I don't mind.
