After parting ways with my Timberland Pro work boots, I invested in these. I'm mixed on my opinion. 4 months in, and the shoestrings are fraying near stress points, like lace holes. In snow or mud, their traction ability is quickly challenged. The wear on the tread has been modest over the last 4 months, which is impressive for the sub-$200 price point.

PROS:

-Looks Good.
-Good tread life
-comfortable.

CONS:

-Shoe strings fray apart quickly
-traction in snow and mud is only acceptable at best.
