When I bought these I had no idea how much I would grow to love them. I wear them every day, to work, and have been on many hikes with them, and there still going strong, although I've had to change the sole a few times. So comfortable and pleasurable to walk/work in. I love the colors to, I have the yellow and its kept its colors very well through mud, sweat and rain, hardly faded at all (unlike previous boots). Their a little pricey but if you have the extra cash, I highly recommend investing in these.
