I was very hesitant to purchase &#34;work shoes&#34; as I'm on my feet 9+ hours all week. These have completely changed my mind.<br />Little stiff at first, laces have held up great (I'm a boat mechanic, laces have the tendency to not last). Soles have held up excellent (exposed to oil/asphalt/dirt all day). Plus they're very comfortable and provide excellent ventilation.<br />I'll be purchasing another pair next season
