German-made women's leather boots from Paul Green.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Worn every day in winter for years by a commenter, with only minor wear (a loose strip of heel leather) despite the daily use; called their best, if priciest, shoe purchase.

    The best I've gotten were Paul Green, but they were spendy... I wore that pair of boots every day in winter for years, and the only real wear was one strip of leather on the heel coming loose.
