I've been wearing these shoes for 2.5 years. I mean the same pair. And I walk around quite a bit in my job. Daily. I had no intention of wearing a pair for so long. But I tried to reduce my personal debt. The boots have mostly worn well. At about 2 years old, they began to diverge at the toes. One thing that may have contributed to the life of the shoe is that I wear street shoes when I get home from work. In general, they were quite comfortable. I have high arches. So support is very important to me. Only now am I seriously considering replacing them.
