I use these everyday, either just for regular use or of course work, i work on the side of highways and main roads, mowing the sides off ramps etc..and also another service involved is litter picking the sides, so try walking miles and miles of highway in uncomfortable footwear. but with these that's not the case,very comfortable when its warm,they stay cool,when its cold they stay warm,insulation works great, and some times the elements are just not in your favor,so when it rains they stay dry,so the boots water-proof feature works..these boot have proven to be very efficient in my line of work and i would highly recommend them for any steel toe needed work environment..I had em for a while and they seem to be holding nicely, and they are put to the test everyday,so purchase with confidence they haven't failed me yet..
