Best boots for the bucks
I bought my first pair of these boots in October 2005 and just replaced them with another pair today (March 2007). The old ones had about 1700 miles on them and were getting a bit worn out. My job involves walking most of the day through people's yards and sometimes cross-country. These boots are light comfortable right out of the box and waterproof. In nearly 31 years on the job I've never had any boots as comfortable as these and I've worn just about all the brands out there.
I'm also a backpacker and would recommend these for all but the toughest hikes.
