When I bought these boots 3 years ago I never would of thought they would of held up as good as they did. Working 12 hour shifts on mostly concrete can punish a boot pretty hard. I wouldnt say they are the most conformable boots out of the box for me, but after some insoles they are awsome. They have a great tread, come in big sizes and not too heavy. Will keep buying these until they fall off the market.
