These are my favorite pair I have ever owned and I have tried all the big brands. I wear them every day (USCG). they aren't too bad when they get wet and they are durable in a big way. the sole splitting on me is the only indicator that I need to buy a new pair.

I am a fabricator/welder and I buy a new pair of these every year. My years in the military and then in the civilian field I never expect to get more than a year out of work boots. One year I had the soles on the new ones wear out in about three month's. I notified Belleville with pictures and true to their warranty they replaced them free of charge. Customer service, product line, and quality I will never buy boots anywhere else My company has a rebate program with local vendors and the company gives us up to $100 per pair of boots per year. They will not do this with these and I don't care. These boots are better than anything I can buy local.

The best boots I have ever worn. Comfortable and sharp looking. The only downside is that the sole splits every year and I am forced to get a new pair. If they could improve the soles on this and prevent them from cracking they would be the greatest boot ever made.
