Other than that, though, every single pair of boots I've worn, I go through the heel before anything else can wear out except sometimes the laces. So I just buy for comfort, knowing that they have about 12-18 months before a new pair will be on my feet.
Dude I am with you on this! I am lucky if my boots see a years worth of service. My last pair were danners, currently rocking some cabelas work boots, had red wing, danner, georgia, chippewa etc. a year and there is nothing left period
