FAQ · Care & Resoling

How long do work boots last, and when should I replace them?

It depends on the trade, the construction and the care. Some owners in trade forums describe two to three years of daily wear and rotate two pairs. Replace a pair when the tread is worn smooth, the midsole is cracked or cushioning has gone, the upper has split, or anything has exposed the toe cap.
