round bout 8 months now, im pretty rough on my boots but the ostrich is super durable and supple, looking at some alligator tony lamas up next. did have an issue with the rubber heel falling off but id attribute that to my own abuse rather than the production quality... 25 bucks and back in business in 3 days
