I have been wearing them for a year and a half, they have taken a beating daily with my morning job as a gardener (a lot of walking in difficult spots on a slope because of olive picking and carrying prunings), mainly soil, stones, etc., and in the afternoon, tiling work... They have more than paid for themselves, they have taken and poured a lot of cubic meters of cement screed and carried wheelbarrows and cans... For me, I recommend them unreservedly... The only thing I can say that happened was the laces, which broke quite early if I remember correctly, which I have seen happen to many people here who wear Grisport, and the second thing is that the sole underneath, after a year and a half of daily use, is almost smooth at the front and has torn underneath at the point where the shoe bends when you kneel, although that is natural after so much kneeling in the second job..
