I have only been wearing these for 3 days but wow.  I bought these boots to replace a pair of Dr. Marteens which actually may have a better slip resistant sole but not nearly as comfortable after over 1 year of wear as these were right out of the box.  Very comfortable boots and it does feel like they may be correcting a slight outside over-rotation in my ankles.  I order a 1/2 size larger than normal because I was concerned with the tapered toe which has worked out well as I have enough room without feeling they are too big or dangling on my feet.  The composite toe is nice and light as well.  I did not get the waterproof model but I have been wearing these in the rain and so far my feet have been dry.  The leather does scuff easily but that will be resolved after I go over them with saddle soap a time or two.  Overall, the best pair of boots I have owned in the past 16 years.
