Owned my pair of Brush Cruisers for 2+ years now. I spend a lot of time in South Texas walking through cactus flats, more so than most. I used to own Chippewa snake boots, among other brands, and always had thorns go directly through the snake guard part of the boot and stick directly into my shins lol. No bueno!
Since I've owned my Brush Cruisers, it's never happened again. They're lightweight, tough, and a quality product made by great people. I can't endorse these things enough and wish nothing but the best to Listo Provisions!
