My 1st pair lasted almost 2 years and probably could have gotten another year out of them but although they were still functional, they looked pretty rough. Comfortable, well made and I think they are pretty good looking as well. The store I purchased my first pair from stopped carrying them for some reason so I was glad to have found them online. Great sole lug pattern for a sure grip in slippery conditions. Although these boots have a 100% waterproof membrane, they are not too hot and allow your feet to breathe. Comfortable steel toe and stain and scuff resistant outer shell. All in all a great boot and well worth the money.
