Ive hax great experiences with this boot.  I wear them as a combination of daily shoe,  work boot,  and motorcycle boot.  They are comfortable like sneakers and offer the protection i was looking for as a summer/short ride motorcycle boot.  They have lasted for a little over 2 years where i used to go through otger boots in 1 year.  At the end of their life the leather,  stitching, and tread all wore out at the same time.  Maybe a downside for some but i dont care is the black color fades to green as they age (see pic of 2.5 ywar old boot) I went through 2 pair of laces.  I wish this boot was one of their made in the USA boots.  I would be willing to pay more if it was.
