4 month update They are still durable, comfortable (even with manufacturer insoles!) My feet breathe better than in leather work boots. I walk miles every day and get on a forklift during the day. So far no jerks, no tears. I will definitely buy another pair. I've worn work boots my entire working life, but a back injury (according to the doctor) forced me to wear work boots with a compound toe. Better support and ergonomics. For a thin insole they are comfortable and lightweight. I took a risk with the sizing, fit me well, used my usual shoe size. I definitely recommend it.
