As a delivery driver I’ve had 8 different pairs of boots/shoes in the last 2 years so you can say I’ve tried almost everything. These are by far the best pair of boots I’ve owned for this job. Had these for 4 months now and I have to say they have great ankle support (especially the part that hugs the Achilles), wears like a sneaker, flexible and lightweight, excellent grip and tread, and I can easily stand/run in them all day. Some parts of the shoe are starting to come apart, like the front where the sole wraps over top and the sole at the heel is starting to come undone. As with any shoe put through rigorous all day work these things are bound to happen. Depending on what you wear these for I wouldn’t doubt these could last you quite a long time if not forever.
