High end Redwing boots. Three years old, worn for two years of welding work. Always put onto boot dryer at night (they don't smell god awful!) Soles probably good for another year before you'll need to re-sole. No cuts through leather uppers, but plenty of battle scars. Should be a great pair of boots and with new soles should last years. I'm still using pair from 2002 on their third set of soles. Retail when new was around $350.
