These boots are expensive but well worth the price.  I have arthritis in my toes and  I work in construction.  I have a hard time finding boots I can wear and the ones I can don't last long.  Other brands just don't hold up.  These boots do.  I have had a pair for about 3 years and wear them daily.  They have been used and abused and are just now starting to wear through so  I just bought another pair.  They are warm and comfortable and very well made.  The only con is that they are pretty heavy.  After a long day on your feet, your legs and start to feel tired....but that is a small price to pay for such good boots.
