my old work boot was the timberland pro's, which lasted about 2 years before the sole started separating. I've worn this about 2 weeks, and my feet still hurts, too narrow. If I tighten the bottom of the tongue, I wouldn't be able to walk in it. also that pull tab sticks out way too much, I constantly have to pull my pants over it. Not enough padding, and as one of the reviewer suggested, get a sole insert. there's a logo sewed onto the inside of the boot and it irritates the hell out of me, even in wool socks, it tickles the bottom of your fee.
