Some real stuff stompers
These are great boots so far. They seem well built and like they will last me at least a couple seasons. They take some breaking in before they are comfortable, you're seeing them here after some wear. I am planning on putting leather conditioner on them at some point to keep them supple. The steel toes aren't really necessary for me but I do like the idea that I could kick something hard if I wanted to. They have very good traction and are easy to slip on without hands which is great for if you're in a hurry. They are stylish and go well with dress clothes which not many steel toed boots will. I would say that they are probably a little more expensive because they probably won't last more than a couple years but it's not a bad price and you will get a lot of hard wear out of them before they break. They remind me of these Australian boots I had once that I really liked. They fit a bit narrow for me. I had to order half a size up because I have 4E wide feet, and even then they are still a little narrow for me. Most people should find them wide enough though. Because I had to size up they are a little long and crease where they bend where I walk. I still really enjoy these boots for fall and winter wear in the rain, and if I find myself on a job site I will have foot protection from any dropped hammers or other such things. I did have to break them in but now they are great.
