I have a pair of Sundowners that I have been wearing for 10 years now. The soles are nearly gone, the leather worn and folds like a glove but I still love these boots. They are excellent for medium duty backpacking and excellent for trail hiking. I have noticed that the collar and tounge padding has been cut down on newer models and other minor alterations but it would be safe to say still an excellent light duty boot.
