These boots are a God sent. I have worn Carolinas,Thorogoods, DieHards, Brunt, Danners, Redwings, Irish Setters, etc..
I can wear these for 10 to 12 hour days and not have my knees or back kill me. I am a handyman and house painter. One day I could be doing demolition and the next day repairing a roof and I am very tough on boots. Boots last me from 6 months to 12 months depending on the work I am doing. I have four pair of these dnvr qlty boots. 3 pairs are steel toe and one is a soft toe. These are such great quality that I can be beat the **** out of them and they come back for more. I got three pairs for my birthdays and the first pair from one of a boss of mine. So many people have ask me where I bought these and what brand are they that I have lost count. Only one of my first pair have been demolished by having the sole split where my foot bends on both the left and right boots. But the makers of dnvr boots have changed the outer sole so this is not a problem anymore. There are only two more things they need to change on the 4 pair of mock toe boots that I have worn: 1. The pull tab in back needs to be made longer and made out of a thicker suede leather. 2. The speed laces up at the top need to be less sharp so they do not wear laces out so quickly. 3. If they had a rubber protective toe so you could kick things or be on your knees and not scuff the toe area up.
The only other things I could suggest are: to make a pair in the U.S.A. and to advertise their brand more. Best Wishes, Brad
