Very nice, but I wouldn't use them as real work boots
These boots appear to be well constructed and are quite comfortable. They look nice and provide acceptable grip. I especially appreciated that they came with an extra set of soft, arch-supporting insoles, which add to their comfort factor. Sizing was correct for my feet and ankle protection was good. They are likely built to last in casual wear situations, but in my opinion, they are nowhere near the quality of a true set of industrial work boots. For example, the toes are reinforced, but I question whether or not they are steel, as they are quite light compared to more expensive options on the market. These are 100-percent Chinese made according to their markings, and you can tell.One last note: These are not FR and the material does not appear to be 100-percent waterproof. This is often a problem with Chinese workwear, and I think the problem comes down to a breakdown in translation. I would categorize them as water resistant, but again, not waterproof. Still, if you are looking for an attractive pair of everyday boots for casual use, you can't go wrong in buying these. You'll be pleased.

Run ~1/2 size larger to me. Exceptional quality, features, durability, & function. Very comfortable
I ordered the 11. I know these boots to me seem to run about ~1/2 size bigger and maybe even a little larger than that. I usually order an 11.5 shoe by other brands, but with these boots, even with wool/heavy duty socks, an 11 is plenty large enough for me. They are well-built, durable, waterproof, and ready to work. The steel toe goes from the toe tip to about an 1-1/2" from the lace saddle material, providing about 2-1/2 inches of steel toe covering back from the toe's tip. These particular laces may need double-tied to prevent undoing over time with work and wear. The sole features a Kevlar layer able to prevent nail punctures. The traction and anti-slip aspects of the sole are also great features. The height go past the ball of my ankle by about an inch, providing good protection all the way around. The fit is comfortable, and I can feel very good cushioning on the ball of the foot in particular. Sole inserts are provided to help keep the shoe's actual sole and interior clean and protected to sweat buildup in the shoe itself, and they can be removed and washed, or replaced, when they get too soiled or worn. With all the features, the durable materials and craftmanship, the protection, and comfort--these are a great value.

Steel Toe Safety Boots
These steel toe work boots are surprisingly comfortable. They aren’t too heavy or narrow, and they’re warm enough to wear in winter weather. I also appreciated that they came with extra insoles. The only downside is that the laces are different lengths—one lace is too short to tie while the other is the correct length.
