text: I really like the fit, comfort and support of this boot. I've been purchasing Justins JMax boots annually for the last 4 or 5 years. My only complaint is they only last 12 months before the leather cracks and holes start appearing. I religiously use 100% pure neatsfoot oil or Obernauf's on boots. I'm beginning to think oiling these boots makes little difference in their life. They are kept clean, seldom see rough terrain and are mostly used on our farm. 50 years ago I was a lot harder on boots and could easily get 2 years life out of them. Is Justin using inferior cheap leather?
