Very comfortable

I've had these for 8 months and 2 weeks, and the side at the heel on one has started pulling away from the bottom, leaving a big hole. All I do is walk in them, nothing athletic or intense. They're verycomfortable, but 8 months is ridiculous.Edit: their customer service was fast and great, I've already got a new pair coming to replace them!

Good fit, lightweight feel. Not durable.

I work in an industrial area (aircraft maintenance) and safety shoes are a requirement. I was looking for tactical style boots with a composite toe, and found these on Amazon for a decent price. I’ve been a bit leery of buying shoes online because fit isn’t always a guarantee, and I hate having to return things. These were perfectly sized, with a good fit and finish. Very comfortable, and lighter than the steel-toe boots they replaced. The zipper sides makes a quick on/off, and with no metal, they’re an excellent choice if you work in secured areas with metal detectors or around electrical equipment. I’m hoping to get a good number of years use from them, as I’ll likely be wearing them almost daily. The only design flaw I can find is the loop on the back isn’t sewn to the back of the boot at the top, so the back of the pant leg gets caught on it whenever you put the boots on. Minor inconvenience I can probably fix with a needle and thread.(Edit) 9 months later, and the seams are failing just like in other reviews. Obviously the company needs to update the design with either a reinforced section in that area, or review their sewing methods. I’ll probably put a few stitches in the area by hand to make these boots last a little longer, but I expected them to last a year at a minimum. And I normally don’t work the shop floor, just out there on occasion. Sadly, I won’t buy from this company again. Comfortable boots, but no value. If they failed this quickly under normal daily wear in mainly an office setting, they might not protect you when you really need them.

Good fit, light weight

Good fit, light weight, comfortable. Unfortunately, the zip breaks easily, and the cobbler near me said they are not worth to repair. I've bought two pairs, and wrecked each in under a year. I want to like them, and if they stood up better, I would get another pair.
