My LiteSpeeds last about 18 months of working in an office, construction sites, and walking around in (buildings, demo sites, fields, shop areas, warehouses, factories, etc). I'm in my boots about 11-12 hours a day. Granted, I'm not military so they're not being treated that harshly, but I do spend a lot of time around construction.

I've had one pair in the past five years that would start to unzip after about 8 hours. I think I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair in five years. The pair I'm wearing today have about 6-8 months left.

After I retire a pair from "office duty" I start wearing them: on the farm (when we owned it); remodeling houses, to the range.

For the price, they've been great boots.
