I have bought my, now, second pair of this same show. I bought the first one on a sale two years ago, and have been using it for at least 4 days a week since then. I work with horses and the shoes have been stepped on, gotten wet, mud  (and other horse "stuff") all over. After two years, they have, only now, started to show some signs of the intense wear I've put on them.  I own several other types of safety toe shoe, and these are, by far, the best.  They have a good balance between lightness, comfort, and safety.  I am really happy with my new pair, but continue to use the old one... I'm sure hey have, at least, six more months left on them!
