Some complain about the tight fit of the boot. It does fit tight at first, but after a few weeks it feels fine. I've not had a problem with comfort, or blisters. I'm purchasing my 3rd pair today, and contemplating purchasing another set just in case they stop selling these.<br /><br />My first pair lasted me about 3 years of construction, football coaching, fence building, and honey-do lists. They finally failed when the sole separated from the leather. I still have them in case I want to glue them back together.<br /><br />My second, and current, pair are still going strong after 2 years. They've survived dog bites, hatchet strikes (had to glue the flap back on but it saved my toes), scratches from nails, and sharp rocks. I don't wear tennis shoes, so these are worn at least 6 days a week for at least 12 hours, only getting a rest on Sunday.<br /><br />I'm purchasing the 3rd set today so that I can look a little cleaner in the construction offices. But the 2nd set will remain my go to work boot when I need to get out and dirty.<br /><br />Only complaints:<br /><br />1) The boot is tight at first, so a high arch support can't be put in for a few weeks. Other shoes I've torn the shoe insole out, then put the high arch insole in. But I can't tear the shoe insole out, even with pliers... I guess that's a good thing?<br />2) The laces wear out quickly, so I have a few pairs in my dresser and swap them out after about 8-12 months.
