They SEEM durable - but:
Western Chief company does not stand behind anything purchased on Amazon - you must deal with Amazon.
Some of these boots are defective, and the rubber gives way at what would be the seam of toe and body - then the rubbber just flaps in the wind, exposing the very thin fabric lining underneath. BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY - just after any return option through Amazon. The company is not interested in seeing the defective product, and reviews on Amazon for various products document this as an ongoing problem (which somehow I missed prior to ordering our own). Yet the company is not interested. Tells you a lot. . . . . caveat emptor.
