My husband has had his first pair for 3 years, and they are still in good condition -- he wears them 12 hours per day, 5-6 days per week.  I just ordered his second pair from Amazon.  We tried on multiple steel-toe boots at a sporting goods retailer, and he said this was the most comfortable boot, BY FAR.  The store didn't have his size so we decided to order them online.  We saved $20.00 by purchasing them on Amazon, plus got free shipping.  I can't say enough about these boots.  They are attractive and he looks good in them, they are tough and reasonably priced, major comfortable.  Note the heel to toe size in inches on the sizing chart is measuring the INSIDE of the boot, so if you measure the bottom of your foot, you can order the accurate size.
