More durable than other similarly priced boots. Ordering a replacement pair after over a year of hard use.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017
These are the best inexpensive boots for gardening and goat wrangling that I've found so far. I wear them daily---usually most of the day on the weekends---and they have lasted over a year.
These boots are so lightweight and inexpensive that I expected they'd come apart like most similar boots have for me---I spend a lot of time squatting to garden, causing a sharp ankle crease that usually quickly falls apart on most boots, with the upper separating from the sole. Not with these boots, though! I don't even see evidence of that crease.
They are as comfortable as any other boot like this that I've tried. Cool feet is not a thing I expect from a boot that's actually protecting my feet from all the stuff I might run into while working with my goats and my land.
After about 11 months, I started to notice a piece of one of the soles peeling off. It didn't really affect the wearing of the shoe, but sometimes I'd get hay or grass clippings stuck in the sole because of it.
The only thing that I found odd/annoying about these is that the white rings around the holes on the sides are separate pieces that are not attached to the rest of the boot with seams, stitching, or glue of any kind. If you actually use those holes to pull the boots on or off, the rings have a tendency to pop out. Eventually I just left them off.
A word of warning, though: Don't leave these boots sitting out in harsh, hot sunlight all day. One morning earlier this week, I left these all day on my back deck (southwest exposure) because they were covered with wet grass clippings I didn't want to track inside. The next morning, I could barely get them on my feet and they felt weird. They shrunk/warped in the sun/heat---the soles are kind of weirdly round/bulbous now, and the white bit around the attachment from upper-to-sole came loose.
Lesson learned. I recently bought some Sloggers clogs as a replacement (because one of the soles had developed that flap), and they are fine for taking the compost out or whatever. But I realized I want my whole foot and ankle covered when I'm doing most stuff outside.
So I'm ordering another pair of these boots.
