Just bought my third  pair,  I have woren them every day for the last seven years and I would still be wearing the first pair  to work if the soles wouldn't had woren out. These boots are the best I have ever worked in. All day work construction and ranch/field work. They are a little heavy at first but make up for it in comfort. When you get home at the end of the day your dogs aren't barking back at you.
