Rocky Original Ride FLX Waterproof Western Boot

In twenty years of being a utility locator. Never in my life have I had a work boot last more than a year. Redwings nope, Justin's nope Irish setters nope, many others. And when I say more than a year I mean the soul of the boot wore a hole straight through. Or the leather failed in the toe or on a seem. These work boots lasted more than a year and are still waterproof! My two gripes is these soles are slick. Flexible but very slick. I ski down any slope in these. (But the material in the soles must be this way to last so long and still have tread on the bottom). My last grip is the liner pops out. But I did Force my feet out of them badly at the beginning. Kinda my fault. Lastly, these things hurted my feet for the first 20 hours bad. Now they fit like a glove and the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. Hey dude's aren't this comfortable. And those things fell apart in a few months at home. Buying two pairs one for work and one for lite duty casual.
