Incredible boots. I own this exact pair and have put them through some rough conditions through all four seasons for about 3 years consistently. They had an unfortunate run-in with some unearthed barbwire fencing that snagged the boots and tripped me. I repaired them and my Wetlands are still going strong.

I can imagine if you're using these for gardening or light use, they would definitely be pretty close to BIFL. If not, they are still the most comfortable and functional boots I own. Would not hesitate to purchase a second pair when/if needed.
