I wear these boots all year long.  They are very comfortable and durable.  I work water main breaks and my feet stay dry.  I plow in the winter and my feet stay warm with wool socks.  The bottoms will wear out way before the top or the water proof seams.  This is a very rugged boot and well worth the money.  I can't say anything bad about them.  When I first got them they were a little tight, but stretched out nicely.  I hope Timberland keeps these around a while!  Anyone that works outside knows that if your feet stay dry, you're happy all day!  I really don't even notice that I'm wearing a safety toe either.  They are very comfortable.
