So I'll keep it short, I have had these for more than a year now and I have a lot of great things to say. I needed these for landscaping primarily as well as anything like helping people move and hiking. I wanted something all around. I will say if your looking for a replacement for a steel toe this isn't it, while there way better than shoes protection wise there not perfect. The real game changer for me with these is the zipper on the side. I hate lacing up especially if I'm in and out and have to do several times a day and they don't stay tight sometimes etc. These make it as easy as slipping on some slippers. They breathe way better than other boots I've used and there pretty comfortable. I used them consistently for months wearing them at work and then to activity's, something like 10-11 hours straight a day. No issues. They haven't fallen apart as I expected with the price even though I'm told Bates is super reputable. They do great hiking and with a little leather treatment for after resistance my feet aren't soaked in the grass or what ver when I'm camping. Love how thick the sole is. And lastly, they look sweet, I don't feel out of place wearing them to anything social. So ya, great buy, you won't find anything of this quality cheaper
