I work for a public school in the maintenance department, these shoes are great for mowing, trimming and field painting for Friday night lights. I've had them for over a year now and they still impress me. After more than a year with an average of 15,000-20,000 steps a day, they are holding up very well and are only now showing signs of wear. The only thing I don't like about them is that the waterproof material makes the toes hot in direct sunlight. Will definitely buy again.
