Some of the above statements are not true from personal experience.

I have had Andrews (current)Lowa,bestard and now running in a pair of Salomon Quest for a bush boot. Having a great run out of Andrews 12 months in, Lowa and Bestard i got 18 mths before they were unwearable and for similar reasons so changed the style and also the type of boot cream and conditioner. Would never use Ezdirect again after his after sale but thats a whole other story. My boots are well used as i get out most weekend for a day hunt so prob minimum of 60 hunts a year @8-10 hours is 480-600 hours in them per year. With the combination of a different style and boot conditioner i will get more than 18 mths from the Andrews at this rate.
