My husband works in the heat at a landscaping company in Kansas. The ground is uneven and after a major rain the traction is terrible and it can be dangerous and hard on the feet. He's worn these 3 days in a row and can't believe how well they work. He gets great traction, they are water proof, and he hasn't slipped at all. Every guy in his crew wants a pair and I've sent them all the info and by next week more then 12 guys still be wearing these amazing and awesome boots. Thanks for making my husband's job easier and keeping him and those guys safer without them having to limp home. Best purchase ever! Thanks Again ebay and to the company silentcare for these great boots.
