I work out in the field all day, 20,000-30,000 steps a day during the summer, lifting carrying things. These boots held up really well. Other brands didn’t last where I had to support glue the sole back on or duct tape it. Not these boots , really comfortable and kept my feet mostly dry ( sometimes I’m in the rain 6+ hours, it’s waterproof to a point). The boots are definitely worth the price. I have wide feet and they took a day or to break in, but after that really comfortable.
