I'm at about one year in. I average some 5 miles a day, which puts me just over 1,000 miles on these boots. I feel like the insole has held up well, and only on particularly long days do my feet really get sore. The leather seems to hold up reasonably well, as they've only a few scars at the toe and a few scratches elsewhere. Soles haven't caused any problems, but I'm mostly on concrete. With my current mileage and the surfaces I typically come into contact with, tread is still looking pretty good and gripping reasonably well. As for problems, the stitching on the inside of the heels is a nightmare. In colder temp I'm fine if I double sock, but once it gets hot enough for my feet to sweat I always get irritation from the stitching! Following recommendations from friends and coworkers, I've tried different lacing patterns and adjusting the tightness of my tie...all to no real avail. So, I've been stuck with double socking year-round and putting up with the irritation in the summer. All in all, they are pretty solid boots. I can't say for certain if I'd buy em again due to the heel issues, maybe I should've run through a dozen or so pairs at the boot store. But, if the stitching feels like it could be problem. Just say pass.
