Had a pair for less than six months an they blew up. The break in was long and painfull a lot like Nicks smoke jumper boots. Unlike Nicks these boots did not stop breaking in they just broke down. Soles seperated and the break down of the boot to the point of very little support for ankles. Poor lacing pattern caused thigh spots and excess leather to build up in the toe box area. There were a real disapointment when comparing them to my old Anapernias.
