I have found the Herman survivors to be about the most dependable boot out there, on the average boot level. I quite honestly would be viewed as hard on boots. My employment requires good grip, steel toes, oil resistance, and easy unlacing. I do an extreme amount of bending the foot, as I work on oil furnaces and boilers, and encounter much rough terrain, as well as exposure to rain, sun, sand, cement, and oils.

I honestly have not tried higher end boots, as I fear they will come apart in 6 months, which is about the maximum lifespan I get out of boots.

The two areas of weakness I see are the leather on the front over the steel toes wears out quickly and the sole breaks all the way across just behind the steel toe. I have to wear the lighter soles because I am in a lot of peoples homes and the dark soles leave marks, that can be a real pain to clean up.
