I have the pickiest husband with work boots. This particular style is the only shoe he has worn for 3 years. They do wear out sooner than a higher end work boot like Danners, but he loves the comfort and the steel toe is necessary for work. He will wear them until they are falling apart and I have to buy him a new pair. He wears them all day even on weekends, for playing with the kids, biking, walking, and unfortunately for me, for going out on dates.
