This is my 2nd pair.  The other pair I have had for 6+ years & decided to cough up the cash for a new pair.  The 1st pair is still in great shape; eventhough I have worn these everywhere & did everything in them.  A very versital shoe.  Rugged as hell; even survives the sand.  The new pair is Comfy!  Grippie! & ready for all the adventure I can get. I love em!  I am now shopping for a 2nd pair for my husband.  True to size.
