This is the second pair I've bought him - not because they're falling apart but because he wears them constantly. Not only are they his favourite indoor footwear, but I can't get him to stop wearing them outside (just to feed the deer, just to run to the shop, just to get more corn for the turkeys, just to get something out of the truck...rain, snow, whatever!) And even then, the last pair has lasted more than three years!
