I have worn these everyday for the last 3 years. NO de-laminating of the soles! No hole in the toe. The upper has outlasted the vibram soles, which I didn't think was possible. Best work boots I've had in +20 years. Usually boots last me 6 months to 1 year. Heck even the laces haven't broke! Did I mention how comfortable they are? Thats why I chose them to begin with, they were the most comfortabl Ian N · basspro.com

I'm in the mountains, hike daily and usually keep five or so boots/shoes in rotation. Different tools for different jobs. I had a pair of Bridgers about five years ago and they crapped out way too soon. Saw these on sale, they had the structure i was looking for and went for it. Got them a couple of months ago, they have roughly 200 miles on them and am glad to say they're showing very little wear TJF · REI
