I bought a pair of $200 boots thinking it would last more than a year, but after a weak of wearing them, the soul of the boots began to come apart. I came in exactly a week after purchasing them and the gentleman that assisted me was not only rude to me and the another customer that was there, but he refused to help me solve my issue. He said "these boots have been used and we can't return them, I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do". I've only used these to dig and they were slightly dirty with zero scratch. I've had issues with them before with my previous pair of boots but they lasted me around 8 months. Personal recommendation, don't waste your money, let alone time purchasing boots here. They're good if you're in the office or if you do light work but for actually construction, these boots are no where near worth it. read more
