Have owned these more than 6 months and they have been worn  as a welder on the rigs daily for that time.  Exceptional wear.  The toe over the steel toe finally did get a hole worn through the leather, but that was expected eventually, as I wear my boots hard.  I turely cannot believe they lasted this long.  The soles held up wonderfully, they were confortable, easy to break in and look great.  I will definately purchase this product again.
