I bought these exact same boots in May of 2024, and prior to that, I had the exact same boots for 6 years wearing them daily doing landscaping work. They're very comfortable and that's the reason I ordered them again. However, the second pair did not last nearly as long as the first due to a split happening on the right boot just above the foot. It seems that while still comfortable, these boots aren't made with the same level of quality as they were several years ago. Maybe it was a defective boot so I'll give the product one more try.
