My boyfriend has been wearing this shoe for 3/4 years now. very well broken in and "dad" likes it. I was very happy to find them as a replacement as he is very picky about his shoes. Bought red and green and took off old shoes for gardening and mechanical jobs. Note: Toss these bad boys in the washing machine, add some clear coat and oxyclin and they smell amazing! And so clean! Place in the dryer on medium speed for 40 minutes. Then finish with air drying if necessary. (He got wet and dirty)
