tl;dr: Not the highest-quality, but more than adequate and attractive for the price, for a timeI am a real estate agent and wear boots to work almost every day, and find myself wearing these almost exclusively. Basically except for in the gym. These can be dressed up with slacks or worn with jeans, can be worn walking muddy/rocky vacant land, and they fit in a business meeting just as well.I typically about 2.5 this amount on similar boots at the department store, and those typically last me about a year... so just in terms of price per day worn: these are the best "bang-for-your-buck" boots that I've owned.At about 5 olds months, they're just now starting to show more wear than I'm comfortable with - particularly the black showing through on the toe. This wouldn't happen with a higher quality leather boot.However, if I break my boot expense into price-per-month, these are the best boots I've ever owned, and I will order more. Highly recommended.
