Definitely not BIFL but you'll get a few years out of them. 3 years at least, 6 or 7 if you don't thrash them. 2 if you put them through the wars. They are uncomfortable the first two or three days but once they break in they are very comfy.

I work in a theatre and am entitled to a free pair every year but often only get a pair every two or three years. I tend to find that they seperate from the soul when they break. Oh and that the pull tags come off the back early in their life. Also the leather chunks off the steel toe a lot but that's nature of the job. We definitely thrash them.

Of course they’re not BIFL but they’re still what this group was made for, durable and well made products.

I’m impressed with mine so far, aside from spending half the time covered in cow shit they’ve also been used around fireworks and are still holding up pretty well - though whilst greasing them I did notice one of the heels is a bit damaged

Edit: I’m very jealous your employer gives you them for free! Good on them
