Its winter here and I needed something more substantial than my other garden shoes. But it doesnt work. And I really like how the bottom has cushioning. Like when someones talking to me if its quite in the game. It likely costs $5 to make this thing. Best purchase to protect tyour investment! , I honestly got better ones for only $5 and they were just alot better than these?? Shipped fast, works as described. HUGE difference. I have upgraded these to ratcheting tie-downs.
