I consider these to be great boots.  I've also got a few guys on site addicted to them as well.  I work construction, so I'm on concrete, gravel, rebar, mud, sand, and ladders all day, everyday.  I'm still wearing the ones I purchased 17SEP11.  Usually boots last me 9-12 months.  I weigh 165, and if you look at the caption of the back of the boot, I'm just getting to the low orange stripe on the sole of the boot.  The insole is still very comfortable.

Some of the fellas on site with back trouble, have said that they feel a noticeable ease in back pain.  I used to wear Dr. Scholl's Memory Fit Work Customizing Insoles in addition to the insoles that come with other boots, but I just use these with the supplied Timberland insole only.

The boot is ugly now, but just as waterproof and all over comfortable as they were on day one.

I purchased a second boot, because you should always keep one in the chamber; but it is still in the box waiting to be put to the test.  I expect this boot should last me possible two more months.  The sole is wearing pretty evenly, so it is not causing me to walk lop sided, pronated, nor supernated.

It is my opinion that this is an excellent boot.  It is more comforatable than Dr. Maarten, of which I was a huge fan until they changed the shape of their lace to toe boot.

I'll end my rambling with pointing out that I find these boots to be sized small.  I wear size 11 (European 43) with all other shoes and boots, but wear a 12 in these.

I'm buying another pair for another workmate this instant.

I am not a Timberland employee or representative.

I am Milo Ruiz, and I approve this boot.
