Solid Gear sg8000741 Phoenix GTX Safety Boots S3 Size 41 Black/Orange

I bought these on the idea they cost a lot they should last a while, at first they where extremely comfy and quite light. I'm a Painter & Decorator and do very little site work less than a month a year and the rest private. After a year these boots started falling to bits and within 15 months are ready for the bin it's quite shocking how flimsy these boots are!! My shoes before these where Salomon walking shoes also Gortex material which I had worn for two years before using them for work and they lasted for another 2 and half years.
