I only wore these boots a few times. I love them but I found a pair that went better with my wardrobe. I got them for a light winter boot that was comfortable to walk in with good traction, but they are actually hiking boots/rugged sneakers and could be worn any time of the year for hiking. They are size 9 and fit true to size. There is some scuffing on the front of the toes. See photos. The soles are in great condition. Here is info cut and pasted from the brand's listing for this boot: Premium waterproof leather, rugged craftsmanship, a compression EVA midsole, and Peak-to-Pavement® traction elevate the Patch Mid from classic Tyrolean lace up to durable all-terrain adventurer. Leather sourced from a tannery with a Gold rating for environmental responsibility by the independent auditing group, the Leather Working Group. Waterproof and breathable membrane Full grain leather, suede, and heathered textile Gusseted tongue Taped seams to prevent moisture leaks Wicking mesh linings with anti-odor treatment Dual-density TPE footbed for support and cushioning Compression EVA midsole optimized for shock absorption Composite shank supplies torsional rigidity Peak-to-Pavement® rubber outsole designed to maximize traction and support
