I bought these boots for riding my motorcycle. They look great and work great. My jeans don't fold up while riding fast. They seem pretty durable and I'm sure they would last a good year or so if I wore them for work(factory). The only issue I have with them is that the laft boot fits perfect, while the right one is snug at the top of my foot/bottom of ankle. Seems like it's loosening up the more I wear it. Makes my foot go numb while I'm just sitting. I have high hope for these boots, wearing the to Sturgis this year...lots of walking and riding!!! Will update when we get back.
