Bought these August 16th. I wore them everyday at work(Lawn Care/Landscaping). At first they were very comfortable and kept my feet dry and pain free. By November the tread was gone and the sole was falling off. I've been buying Columbia shoes to work in for the past 10 years and they usually last me about 7-9 months. I have replaced these with some Hi-Tec hiking boots and if they hold up for at least 7 months I will by another pair of Hi-Tec's boots. Columbia really let me down with these. These will work just fine for the poser outdoorsman though.
