The longest I've had a set of boots last me was 4 years. I got rid of my techschool boots about a year ago. I'm CE, so for a set of boots to last that long is somewhat unheard of. Talk about worn the fk out!

Are the soles gone? Do you use your hands to set the brakes on stands? If you still daily drive those boots it might be a record. I get a new pair every time I can.


On a side note, I cant wait for the new uniforms so boot shining or polishing is a thing of the past.
