Getting paid to hike and work trails is not a bad way to wear out a pair of boots. My Sundowners have been the best boots for long hikes with a light 30# pack in the Utah canyons. After 3 seasons and hundreds of miles the welt on the heel has pulled loose so these dudes are toast.

I have just bought a pair of Merrell M2 Wilderness and can only hope they can stand up to the Sundowners but hey they were on sale for 75 bucks so their worth a try.
