I've had these boots for occasional wear for about 3 years. Good for concerts when it comes to foot protection. These can be worn comfortably for a few hours but aren't something you want to wear all day. They have pretty good traction. They looked good and fit nicely after adjusting laces and breaking in, but the coating started to flake after a year of occasional wear. Eventually had to toss them after the stitching split on the sides.
