After reading the other reviews,I think I must have lucked out when I purchased my Herman Survivor steel-toe work boots. Though they are my second pair in about 3 1/2 yrs., they have held up well, (no sole-splitting problems), but the bottom outside seams for the eyelets come loose (stitching at bottom of eyelet strip). These boots have eyelets where the shoestrings can be laced either vertically, (which is how they`re "supposed" to be), or horizontally through the eyelet. If you run the strings vertically,the eyelets cut right through the strings and the strings last about a week. It's very difficult to string them horizontally, but if you can do it, the strings will last much longer. I think this could be easily rectified by simply using standard eyelets or "hook" eyelets, ("hooklets?"). Given that the price of the boots was about $50, and they`re exposed to a varying array of chemicals and water, they seem like a good value, but not excellent.
