Had these boots for about 3 years (though they did get scuffed pretty easily) and wore them semi-regularly to events like conventions, ren fairs, concerts, and the monthly Good Outfit. They finally gave out on me at the very end of a ten fair trip, the sole detaching from the shoe. Honestly probably could have repaired it with some super glue but they were already pretty roughed up at that point, it wouldn’t have been worth it. Nice boots, inexpensive and served me well, just maybe don’t expect them to last forever like good docs.
