I'm sad to say that this pair of boots would never withstand the type of work I do, Welding, cutting, grinding, etc. The lower part of the boot feels like cheap thin K-mart pleather with a cheesy printed pattern. The uppers seemed fine and good quality though. The description of the boots was meager at best and not the photos misrepresent the quality or lack of. I totally did not expect this from Justin. Very disappointed........
