I'm a big fan of Lugz shoes and boots and have four different pairs. They fit well, are very comfortable and look great. I see no reason why they shouldn't be as durable as every other pair of Lugz boots I've had. I rated the toe box as slightly narrower than "just right" but that's more dependent on looks. The toes aren't cramped at all, but the toe box "looks" shorter than other Lugz models. Whether or not you appreciate the looks is a matter of personal taste, but I don't think it's fully visible in the marketing photo, so give that some thought.
