Ledge Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot (Women)

Zookeeper here- I'm on my feet all day, outside, in various conditions like mud, water, slippery terrain, etc. I needed something durable and had high hopes. These boots were great at first, but busted after about 6 months of every day use. Yes, I probably wore them more often than most would, but I was still hoping they'd last a little longer based on other reviews. The material cracked on the outside by the balls of my feet pretty quickly and then continued splitting all the way through, making the shoe no longer water proof. Before they cracked, they did a good job of keeping water out (the blue part of the boot is not waterproof fyi). They did have good ankle support and traction and were pretty comfortable. I may recommend these if you aren't going to use them as often, but definitely not for frequent use.
