I've had these boots for just over a year, and I wear them all the time. I got these in a 41, which would normally be fine in this brand, but they fit large, so be warned, that being said it's nothing an extra pair of socks won't fix. I've had to repair them a few times since the sole on both of them keeps coming apart from the leather, this despite the fact that I try to keep them dry and polished. Overall, not a bad boot, I would likely get them again.
