I wear these every day at work for at least 8 hours a day. I think they are a really nice pair of boots. They look really good, and seem to be holding up to day to day abuse. I bought some insoles for them, but I just think that all work boots need insoles, not necessarily a flaw of these particular boots. I also bought some leather lotion, moisturizing protectant type stuff. I would recommend it, it keeps them looking newer longer.
