Great balance between boot & sneaker
So right out of the box, these boots fit me quite well and are comfortable enough for me, especially compared to some other boots I've owned in the past. Good amount of room for my feet, doesn't hug too tightly and doesn't feel cramped, some wiggle room for my toes in the toe box, and nice cushion in the heel which I really wanted so I could run in these if I really had to. I bought a size 10.5 X-Wide and this boot runs true to size (for me.) It's waterproof enough so you could walk in the rain but I probably wouldn't allow them to be submerged in a deep puddle or anything. I can't speak on the durability yet since I just got them but will try to update this in the future. I don't notice any major defects and it looks like it will hold up well so I give the quality a nice 4.5/5. I'm not too picky with any slight blemishes or little glue spots around the soles because it's a boot and it's going to get beat up and dirty anyway. The laces are okay but I always replace my laces anyway with some elastic laces because I'm weird like that. I will say that this boot is a nice blend between practical and stylish and I would not mind wearing these on a night out with friends and paired with some nice blue jeans! (I got the brown with the white midsole btw.) So far, I really like them. When I get new shoes, I like to put them on and wear them around the house for a few hours to see how they feel on my feet and so far I haven't noticed any real kind of fatigue or discomfort so that's good. I just have to adjust the laces accordingly to get that perfectly tuned fit. I think these will be my new favorite boots for a while and I plan on buying these in the other color options they have for different occasions or to pair with different outfits. Overall I think I would give these a 4.3/5 for now, only because I haven't tested the durability yet. Oh and I haven't tested the oil & slip resistance yet either but the sole seems flatter than most boots I've owned and the more surface area you have in contact with the ground, the more grip you should have, theoretically. The rubber feels like good quality. Nice and squishy but doesn't feel cheap.Pros:- Practical- Stylish- Full grain leather- Waterproof- Good cushion in the heel- Loop tab on the heel (This is a must for me when I look for boots lol)- Composite toe so the boot is much lighter- Fairly good surface area on the sole so good ground contact- Memory foam insole feels niceCons:- Not much really, laces are fine but I would change them out to your personal preference- I want to say the waterproofing is a bit questionable because the tongue is fabric and I'm not sure how it will hold up if submerged in a deep puddle but that's just me nitpicking.- Boot could probably breathe a little better but hey if you want waterproofing then you have to sacrifice some breathability. This can be improved depending on the kind of socks you wear.Overall, great boot. Hope this helps!

Fit small at first, must break in like most boots.
I’ve worn these down for 1 year and 6 months. One of the most comfortable boots I’ve had. No boot is infinitely durable tho. In the time I’ve had them, the toe shows through the leather, the insides are pretty worn, and they stink. Expected with boots and what I do. But compared to other boots I’ve bought year after year. These are the ones I will buy again. (12 years of buying boots). Good for a hot day and good for a cold day. Shoelaces lasted longer than any other boot I’ve had. The bottom soles are pretty tore up but they are still holding me up. Unlike others that either crack or fall off the boot. Insole do need replacing but that’s the cheap part we can all replace, which you should periodically. I bought these true to size and they were a little tight. It’s fine with me since all boots need to be broken in. Once broken in they expand and I rather they fit me perfect after broken in than a little large if I buy a half size up. I move around a lot and these aren’t restrictive. Never had any issues with blisters or sore ankles/calves.

Impossible to pull the laces tight.
I walk on a concrete floor all day everyday, and Ive walked through a lot of boots. These are comfortable, warm, have a good forward grip. The curved heel took some getting use to, its more like a trainer/sneaker than a boot. Not bad, just different.Only real complaint is the laces don't hold and slip back loose before I grab the next set 0.2 seconds later. So if you like your boots super tight these might frustrate you.

Comfortable, Work Boots 😀
Comfortable, when you have to wear safety toe boots all day 10 to 12 hours you want them to be light and comfortable I have had to wear them for forty years in industrial Construction work we do these is the lightest most comfortable boot I have ever worn on the project, excellent 😀

Narrow and poorly designed
These boots are the worst. I could only wear them for 2 days before throwing them in the trash. My toes were killing me by the second day. My toes! You never hear that. I have working construction for many years and I am a construction Manager who doesn’t need to walk the field as much as I used too. Only walking about 4 hours in the field in 2 days I had nothing but problems. Worst Chinese garbage I ever put on my feet.

Great pair (Updated)
They're really comfortable and can take a beating. This is my second pair after almost two years of daily wear. They get hot as heck out in the summer though, just be warned.Update: lowered the rating from a 5 to a 3.5The exterior is still in great condition despite fuel and oils spilling on them, nothing get inside. The interior however is a completely different story. They're really worn out around the heel area especially the back wall.On one hand: cool, my feet are still dry and protected and they don't look old.On the other: it's wearing from the inside out.The insoles are fine if a little discoloured. It's the walls of the boot that's taking a beating. That thin fabric that helps prevent friction is just tearing apart. Other than that the boots are still in fairly good shape and with a good set of socks I don't really notice it. Just thought others would want to know.

Very comfortable
I have a hard time finding steel toe boots I can wear. Really any boots that are comfortable. So far the are the most comfortable boots I have ever bought for works and walking on concrete 10 to 12 hours a day. I would say go a size bigger than what you normally wear and I personally went with an x-wide. I have no toe rubbing at all. For now I like them.
