COMMENTS: I purchased these boots 3 years ago. i have used them every day at work in a factory, as well as using them as my primary footwear on many Boy Scouting events over the past 3 years. Only now are they beginning to show signs of excessive wear on the heels of the soles. I was originally shocked at the sale price, having never spent this much on footwear before. After 3 years of being worn for 12-14 hour days 6-7 days a week, I realize it is worth every penny. The initial break in period was a bit longer than I would have liked. However, once broken in, these boots became my favorite pair of shoes for comfort, fit, versatility, and support. They did feel a bit heavy while getting used to them, but the extra weight is more than displaced b y the extra ankle and foot support. The original waterproof coating lasted about a year, after which I applied an after market waterproofing agent with much success. I am now purchasing a second pair identical to my first, and would highly recommend anyone else to do the same.
