the ripped lace on the left boot happened sooner than later in their life, never fixed it.

i had to get new insoles for them last year, my friend's dog shredded one of them into pieces.

There's a mythbusters about that and I think they concluded you're better off with steel toes. They had a really hard time replicating the "chop off your toes effect"

My steeltoe Caterpillars have done me well the last 11 years. Yeah, I said it, 11 years. Although I haven't used them on a daily basis, they still fit and have good tread. I can agree w/ John though...when they get cold your feet fuckin' freeze.
