Reviewing these after 20 months of daily use. Of the dozens of CATs I've owned, these are by far the best. Non steel toe version. No special care whatsoever (well...is turning the hose on them special?). Waterproof-ness has held up through two monsoons and one snowy winter season. Can's speak to their tolerance of caustic chemicals, though they do seem impervious to cow poop. Easily half the miles on these boots are in rough, sharp-rocky, dirty, dusty terrain. And gravel...lots and lots of gravel. They excel in rough terrain, very stable, always feel sure-footed. And the treads are perfect, first boots I've owned that didn't trap gravel in the treads and scratch up my hardwood floors. They're also great pavement pounders. Very comfortable, never feel weighted down (they weigh 4 lbs. non steel toe). I think this current pair could easily go another year, but buying another and putting these on standby. Highly recommended.
