Bought these boots as a csa required boots for federal corrections training and wore them through work. Training was 3.5 months. Only time these shoes were not worn was during gym/self defence. Not as breathable as I thought, still had moisture problem even when mostly just sitting down. During core they were only worn on range days, scenario based training(1-2 times/week) and in class training. Started showing wear and tear (the adhesive agent that connects the boot to the sole was coming undone) about 7-8 months later while on duty. At this point, I have responded to a few incidents but nothing major - just running and responding.1.8 years after, the boots just recently started taking in water. I really thought they would at least last 3 years.
I have a little wider need so it fits perfectly. Size sip is very useful and the leather polishes nicely. Hard time getting them spit shine and clear but comes close.
