The pair I have now I've owned for three years and the first two of those I wore the boots regularly (street & trail). The fit for me was an A+ (w/ Superfeet insoles). I had to have both boots in the repair shop b/c the double stitched seams along the heels came loose. Lightly coating these seams, and others, with seam grip or other adhesive can help prevent unraveling. Another problem: heel seams on inside of boot came undone (caused blisters) and needed repair. The vibram soles are begining to show much wear - not worth resoling b/c the leather part of boot is much expanded and will not fit new sole. Mine stayed waterproof with treatments of Nik wax. I suggest these boots if you plan only to use them on day or less than week overnight hikes. I upgraded to asolo 535 (lighter and higher support).
