I got a pair of these for pruning. I think there excellent. Great fit, excellent traction both forward and holding back. Supportive and real comfortable. I only had them three weeks so I can't say they've held up but the build seems outstanding. Check out the lacing system if you like snug fitting shoes these do it.
