I wear them five days a week as a military member and have since 2015. They run true to size/slightly larger. E.g. I wear a 12. I typically wear a 12 in every other shoe but sometimes wear a 12.5.

But, I wouldn't call them BIFL. The soles won't hold up as long as heavier duty boots. The soles are what make them so comfortable and light but it comes at the cost of longevity. Im on my second pair now but I do love them and especially for the price.

I feel like BIFL could definitely translate as “I love these so much” that you’d be happy to buy another pair once they’ve been worn out. I didn’t know what other sub to post this to so I can get 5+ years from them, I’d be satisfied. But yeah, I’m not going to be doing anything heavy duty in them and they’ll be in my rotation of other footwear if I buy them.

I dont have any issue with you putting it in this forum. I was more just letting you know that you wont really be buying them for life. But many people dont wear boots 200+ days a year so if you don't then you'll obviously get more life out of them.

That said, I still use my first pair for yard work around the house so technically I still have them. When my current pair wears out, Ill likely buy another.

Totally understandable :) Committing to a third pair down the line is also a pretty solid vouch for comfy shoes haha
