Why it's buy-it-for-life
Redditors describe them as built like iron, highly water-resistant even after walking through deep puddles, and shaped to the foot for a glove-like fit after break-in. Owners also note the brand offers a resoling/renewal service that extends the life of the boots for years, though repeated renewals can gradually change the fit.

They're built like iron and they took sometime to break in... All in all, so happy with my purchase and I'm sure these boots will last decades if not, for life.
Have two pairs of these myself and love them. They themselves will last for years, but obviously every time you send them to be renewed, they lose a tiny bit of size.
