Best Workboot You Will Ever Buy!
I was skeptical of ordering boots I had never tried on, but to my surprise these boots fit perfectly! I needed the steel toe for my job and these specific boots were highly recommended. I cannot say enough good things about them!! When I first put them on, they seemed a bit snug on the sides and I wondered if the size was off. However, after wearing them around the house for about 15 min, I quickly realized they were just right. I have worn the boots to work now for 2 weeks and I can honestly say they may be the most comfortable boot I have ever worn! The inside is so comfortable it never seems like I am wearing boots at all. The sole of the boot offers great support, while at the same time feels light beneath your feet.These boots have been wet, had wet concrete spilled on them, walked in mud puddles - water rinses the leather off nicely and my foot has yet to be wet. Now, I have not submerged my foot in water to see if it would seep through, but as of now, my foot has been dry every day (maybe a little sweaty), but dry.If you are looking for a comfortable and hard working boot, this is most certainly the boot to purchase!

Very comfortable, durable boot; safety toe is real metal and will set off metal detectors
I love these boots. I work 12 hour shifts in a nuclear power plant. I'm on my feet on concrete all day. I've tried many different brands of work boots, and they each hurt my feet. After searching on Amazon, I decided to try these. I have worn these boots at work since October, working 36-56 hours a week. Some days I have walked more than 10 miles in them, according to my Fitbit. These boots are more comfortable than my tennis shoes. At the end of my shift, my feet aren't nearly as tired as they would be with other shoes (even tennis shoes). Even after walking 10+ miles in a day, my feet don't hurt when it's time to go home. They are warm enough to wear in the winter, in snow or ice. My feet have stayed dry no matter what I've walked through. They have not started to show wear anywhere yet except for a little bit on the soles. I think I can realistically expect at least another two or three years out of them. My only complaint is that the safety toe will not pass through a metal detector. I have to keep my boots in my locker at work and wear my tennis shoes in to work, and then change shoes for my shift, and then change them again before I go home. If I can find some Timberland safety boots with a composite toe that won't set our metal detectors off, I'll try them. Otherwise, I'll just buy these again. I'll put up with the little bit of hassle caused by having to change my shoes if it means my boots will always be this comfortable. I have already recommended these to several friends.Update, March 2018 - After three and a half years in these boots, I have reached the point where it's almost time to replace them because the tread is starting to separate from the sole of the boot on my right shoe, and because I have put so many miles on them that I have almost worn the tread slick. They are very scuffed and have been well loved, and have served me well. They are still waterproof, though, and do a decent job of keeping my feet warm. They have held up to oil, diesel, hydraulic fluid, river water, and who knows what else. Other than the sole separating and the tread starting to wear off, these are still very comfortable to wear 12 hours a day on concrete. I still love these boots. I have flat feet and overpronate when I walk. I have never had to change the insoles in these boots. I am still using the ones that came with the boots from the factory. That in itself is a miracle, as I have to replace tennis shoes every few months because I walk so much that I break down the arch support in them. The only reason I'm considering other boots is for the option of a composite toe so they can pass through a metal detector. Not sure yet if I will replace these with the same boot or a different one.

No sweaty feet! Comfortable for 12 hour shifts
I work 12hr shifts in a manufacturing setting involving wet/sloppy conditions as well as chemical usage. I stand on a concrete floor for extended periods of time and was looking for a sturdy boot that was comfortable and kept my feet dry, whether from wet conditions or sweaty/clammy feet. After reading the many positive reviews for these boots I decided to give them a try. Most reviews said to order a half size down, so I also did that and ordered a 7.5 instead of my usual 8. I’ve had these boots for a month now and am happy with them. I experience leg and lower back pain with standing for extended periods of time on a concrete surface and while the pain is not totally eliminated, my foot comfort during work hours has improved since wearing these boots. The upper is also very comfortable and I did not experience any blistering. They required minimal “breaking in” and were pretty comfortable from day one. One con - my pinky toes did rub for the first few days. I didn’t get blisters though, and the rubbing stopped after a few days of wear. My absolute favorite thing about these boots is that I don’t get sweaty or clammy feet/socks! I wear orthotic insoles and remove the insoles when I take my boots off to allow the insides to dry as much as possible, and the insoles are dry to the touch upon removal! Also my feet and socks do not feel sweaty or clammyAfter taking my boots off. Even during the hottest of work hours I don’t experience a “sweaty foot feeling” and my feet do not slip around in these boots. They also have great traction on slippery surfaces and have held up well to messy work environments so far. I read some reviews fromwomen who have owned pairs of these boots for years and I’m really hoping mine last that long too!

Pretty Good.
I bought these boots to replace a pair of Doc Martens work boots. I find these boots not as wide as those, which isn't bad. The soles are a lot more comfortable and thicker than the Docs, too. After a week of wear, they've confirmed nicely to my feet. It took two whole days to break in, but they are a good fit. I lace them all the way up and the ankle support provided is top notch. It's been rainy and the waterproofing has been good for small puddles so far. I have yet to go deep puddle jumping or caught in a downpour with these. Some people might find the ankle support to be too stiff because it does take some getting used to. I would advise to lace them up to your comfort until you get it just right. I would have liked the laces to be a little longer, but they're not terrible. I just can't double knot my shoes. What I like about these is that my foot stays snugly in the shoe. My feet would slip a little in my Docs and I would stub my toes on the steel toe of the shoe from the inside. These shoes exceeded my expectations. Stable, comfy, durable. I hope they last longer than a couple of years with daily wear. We'll see.
