They take less than a month to break in, in fact, I wonder if I should have gotten a size 11 rather than 11.5 because of the looseness of them now! I used to wear my dad's boots that he was issued as an Army fuel truck driver in the early 1990s. (once I grew into them) These are not much, heavier, less water resistant, and only slightly cooler than those in the summer out here in the West. Though they need not be "spit-shined" like what he was issued. In fact, I recommended them to my dad who still drives a truck and needs a good quality boot, rather than those found at WallyWorld. These boots came brand new with loose stitching by the bottom lace holes and while your feet, won't get immediately soaked, they are not water proof and your feet will become rather damp during a cloud burst or down poor. This is not conducive for a boot that is EH rated. They have quality rough-out leather on the balance and upper and are made right here in America! Overall I like them.

Much love for this boot I had been looking for a long time to find a boot to last and be comfortable I have worked in construction and adverse weather all types of weather and year around these boots have kept my feet comfortable and dry after two years of solid use the soul is finally wearing thin I still use them but it is time for a new pair thank you much Belleville boot co this is the only boot I%u2019ll ever need
