I expected these to last longer than 6 months. This morning my feet were soaked after walking about 100 yards in wet grass (from dew). I looked down at my boots and saw water gushing from the separation of the rubber outer sole and the leather. It's a pretty even Gail at this seam on both boots, front to back, more pronounced in front. There was a 2 month period in June/July/August where I did not wear these at all, and I alternated these with another pair of Propets. So really, these things lasted about 2-3 month of use. Absolutely unacceptable, no matter how comfortable the fit was compared to other hikers/waterproof outdoor shoes.
