I purchased these boots from Amazon about a year ago. I'll start by saying that these boots were very comfortably from the get-go. They look great, and seem to be constructed fairly well. Unfortunately, I was only able to get about 9-10 months' wear out of them. For the first 6 months after I purchased the boots, I was working on an outdoor construction project in a large park which, for me, involved a great deal of walking. As I said before, I have no complaints about the comfort of these boots. They also kept my feet dry in what seemed like an exorbitant amount of morning dew every day. However, I think all the moisture was the eventual downfall of my boots. After some time, the leather around the toe began to deteriorate and the seams began to come apart. The rubber treads also began to separate from the rest of the wedge sole at the heel. By the time we finished up on my next project, my boots were toast.

Ultimately, these are nice boots for the price. I imagine they would last a while for casual/light duty wear. Be aware that if you're going to put these boots through the wringer like I did, they will not last very long. I probably wore them longer than I should have. In that case, it is probably worth it to spend the extra cash for some better boots.
