I do it all for a living. Farming, trucking, plow snow, shop work, nothing has hurt these boots except for putting a hole through the sole with a fence post. Im daily in and out of the landfill, grease, fuel spills, loading salt trucks in the winter, etc. Ariats, Justin's, Red Wing, all last about 3-4 months for me. Im getting my 4th pair of Bolduc's at almost 3 years. I've never had a boot last this long and still be usable
