The boots looked like they would hold up, but in the 4mon. that my husband has had them, the rubber bottom is already cracking and pulling off.  The last pair he had were half the price and from a local store and they lasted him almost two years.  I was hoping that since these looked like they were better made, they would hold up better.  I'm very disappointed.  My husband is a plumber and these boots appear to have a waste of money.  That or we possibly just got a bad pair.
