they lasted 7 months and the sole started to separate. another month or two and its going to fall off probably. I put them through extreme conditions, but I think they should have lasted a little longer for the price they are. UPDATE: on my second pair (I got them because size 16 light boots are hard to find) I am going to lower my rating to one star. because in about a month the left boot started hurting my toe. by feeling with my hand down in the boot, I could feel a crinkle in the roof of the boot above my toes, and it was a hard wrinkle from the inner leather toe lining, it put an unbearable pressure/pain on my middle toe. I was able to cut it with a knife which collapsed the wrinkle. These boots go through wet stuff and they don't last. I will never buy another pair.
