Bought these boots to wear in my landscape & irrigation company. I do lots of walking and for the first few months , they wore nice and were comfortable. They are NOT water resistant at all. They are good for dry weather and needed little break in. After 6 months , they are starting to come apart. The seams where the rubber is glued to the leather is coming apart and the soles are chunking apart. If I would have paid much more that $100 for them I would have given them 1 star. If you want a pair of boots to wear casually, these are fine. For working outdoors in dirt, mud , rocks and wet grass, I would look elsewhere.
