I use them 7 days a week and most days I use them hard. I just replaced my old ones that I had 3 years and they went through everything from North East snow and ice to heavy rain and flooding. The only thing they couldn't survive was my 2 75lb male Pit Bulls playing tug of war with one the day I ordered the new ones lol. But, the boot they had didn't look that bad. They didn't pull it apart the way you would think at all. They just got the top soft part off. Very tough boot!!!
