how long have they lasted you,im always trying find a decent cheapish pair of boots not found any yet mine normally last about 4 months but only pay 20 ish for them and sole leaks on them all,dont like the idea of paying £80 for work boots to climb ladders all day in

Waterproof, great quality, steel toecap and steel midsole for when you stand on nails in your customers' back yards.
