These are great boots I bought them for my hubby for work as he needed a good durable ,reliable, and sturdy pair of boots to work in an aviation hanger as he is on his feet for long periods of time. He absolutely loves them and we are going to buy him a second pair. The only reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 is he spilled some oil on them and then all of a sudden he ended up with a hole in the top of his boot all the way through. He and i were very sad to see that happen as they are his favorite. He has had them now going on a year but has not been able to wear them due to the hole for at least 6 months now. He has just gone back to waring them as they are better than the ones he has even with the hole. I purchased them on Amazon and they have been unavailalbe to repurchase and we are just now discovering we can buy them one other place and directly from here. I wish we had know that as maybe then we could have looked into a return or a purchase of a new pair. As all we could get back from amazon was a refund due to the boots not being available.
