My brother bought this red chief shoes around 7 years before and it is still in good condition I think it would work more than 3 or 4 years with any type of users. It is the biggest example of durability of the shoe. If you purchase this shoe I don't think so it damage within, 4 or 5 years. If you have rough uses of shoe than you must have to buy this shoe. But if you are a fashionable person than this shoe is not for you. If I talk about the comfort it is good but not good as the other brands like Nike Adidas and Reebok in the price of 3k or more. My shoe and most of the red chief shoes comes in the gray( almond) color which is again not very attractive. Overall in my honest opinion with the price of 3k you should go with other brands like Adidas and all that.
