I am a full time FF/PM and i bought these boots for duty boots in February 2015. When i put these boots on for the first time i was very impressed. After 5 months of wearing them only at work (roughly 40 shift days) they are falling apart. The sides of the boot where your toe's bend are all cracking, and the inside fabric on the heels are tearing, and the plastic heel support that is in the lining of the heel is all broke and it feel's like you have stuff in you boots.  I've attached some pic so you could see. I would never buy these boots again. STAY AWAY FROM THESE!!!!!!!!
