I've worn a lot of boots over the years, and these are bar none the best. I started with Georgia - comfy, but don't last. Moved on to Danner -good all the way around except for the "Elk Hunters" in which I had 3 pairs warrantied in 9 months for the soles falling off before the 4th pair did, and I gave up. Next, I moved on to Red Wing with the idea of "you get what you pay for" but what I got was a $300 pair of boots the soles fell off of in 10 months. Then I moved on to the Crispi. I was kind of skeptical of the rocker in them at first, and still not sure if I got used to them, or if they wore out. I believe my specific pair to have insoles made of unborn chinchilla and the outers to be crafted of the beard of Zeus. Comfortable and won't give up. I'm very hard on boots, and these still are showing 0 wear anywhere but the soles after 10 months, and they look like they'll go at least another year. A man could comfortably wear these for a day of work before chasing a 380" bull in the evening, and look good enough to land Eva Shockey before he went to bed. I'm a believer.
