i bought these boots 3 months ago, i wanted to USE the boots before reviewing. the top construction of the boots seem to be well made, but the sole of the boot (rubber bottom) has almost already worn all the way through.  there is no noticeable wear on any of boot other than the whole bottom of sole. i have never hiked in these boots and only wear them while working indoor in a restaurant, on smooth floors and usually even a rubber mat. i purchased these for waterproof footwear while doing dishes at work where my feet were constantly soaked.  they seem to be pretty good for keeping the water out, but the sole of the boot is crap.  if you were only to walk on snow i guess they might last, but i cant imagine them lasting long at all if you were to use them as hiking boots as advertised.  i walk 2 blocks from my car to work, so its not like i walk all over town on asphalt either.  additionally if snow or whatever moisture were to go above the rubber toe on any of the leather your feet will get wet anyway.  i sprayed the leather on boots with waterproof spray when i got them as well.  i saw the same boots by a knock off brand on ebay for $20 when i bought these for $70, next time im goin with ebay.  would have given a better (inaccurate) review had i reviewed upon receipt without product testing for endurance. sucks cause they do LOOK nice, and tough.
note:  my (cheap- $30) EVERYDAY shoes usually me AT LEAST 1.5-2 years minimum, and i don't drag my feet when i walk.  i have a pair of Carhartt boots ($50) that i've had for 5+ years of hard use (WAREHOUSE, CONSTRUCTION, +HIKING etc.) that have NO noticeable wear including sole, other than the original laces.
