I  wear these boots for 12 hours a day after 2 months right boot ripped at the bend behind the toe.  I put 5 minute epoxy to hold the shoe from ripping further. After another month the other side ripped and also have another rip on the right side behind the epoxy repair. they are comfortable but the tongue at the bend of the shin and foot is a bit thick and leave marks from how tight they feel. overall I would not purchase this boot again. they are made for light not use.
