Excellent shoes for the money. My husband works outside, cutting trees, firewood building a dock and boat house every day. He has lived in these shoes since owning them and if anyone has given them a workout he has. He says they are comfortable and they do seem to be holding up very well. As only been two months but we have bought many other brands and after two months almost need replacing. These shoes actually still look very good. We are both pleasantly surprised. Definitely would buy these again.
