My 3rd pair. Give them a few miles to run and they're great. You have to break them. Otherwise, if I analyze the first few times of wearing, maybe three stars. They're pretty tough, new. But very comfortable (after breaking in), waterproof, excellent grip. cool looks Looks great with jeans or dress pants. I just threw away my first pair after 6 years. I wear them every day to work in the office. The soles never had holes. The interior had a few scratches. I'm hard on my shoes. Every day at work I climb the stairs a lot to exercise and that's what I wore. I've used them for clearing light snow (yes, I've been digging in dress shoes and jogging pants). I will buy again when these current ones are thrown away. I have both a black and a brown pair. Both are fantastic
