User Reviews
I bought these as I ride a motorcycle and work in a place that requires steel toe boots.They fit very nice, a little snug out of the box but as with any steel toe/work boot. Once they are broken in they feel nice and are very comfortable.I got a ton of compliments, they are really nice. Totally worth the price.
I work in the tool rental department of a well known home improvement store. After soaking my feet a handful of times while cleaning tools.....and also dealing with big, heavy machines, I decided it was time to get a good pair of waterproof work boots. I got these and they are WONDERFUL!!! I've had them a little under a month and haven't gone home with wet feet aftet a work day since. They are definitely waterproof. They are also soooooo comfortable. There's good ankle support. Honestly, the best part about them is that they are safety rated and with a steel toe, but not at all bulky like most steel or composite toe shoes/boots are. As a female who has worked previous jobs that require steel or composite toe, it's hard to find a good pair of shoes/boots that meet the requirements without also looking like you have clown feet. These are pretty great. Comfortable....sleek for steel toe, waterproof, annnnnnd super cute!!! I've gotten several compliments on them because of the color.
They are pretty syltylish, lightweight, and Very Comfortable for all day wear! True to size.
I bought these boots to wear for work. They exceeded what I required (I didn't really need a steel toe or electrical work rating).The craftsmanship on the boots looked really good. The leather was smooth and without flaw. The sole felt cushy and comfortable. The tread was nice and slip resistant.Unfortunately for me, the toe box on them was just a little too narrow for me. Since the boots are leather, I thought, "maybe they'll stretch as I break them in," then I remembered the steel toe. There is no stretching steel.Ultimately, I reboxed and returned them after trying them on and before I wore them.I do believe these are good boots and would serve someone well, they just don't work for my feet.
I bought these for my job at a farm sanctuary. Work around a lot of snow, mud, and hoofed beasts.I want to start this off by saying these are NOT WATERPROOF. They are water resistent. For the most part they are fine. For deep snow, or water, NO.Also zero insulation they will not keep your feet warm at all.And it’s not even about water getting in through the top of the boot, I always have snow pants layered over them and my feet are still soaking wet after the end of a snowy day. If you’re looking for a boot you can get away with wearing year round these aren’t great.Other wise, I really like them. Quite comfortable from the get go. The steel toe protected me from many a sheep, alpaca, random heavy object. The leather on them is starting to wear and flake a bit but it’s not too terrible. For spring summer and fall I think these are stellar.For winter and cold weather, nothing has beat Bogs so far.Pictured is said boots after an 8 hour shift in 2 feet of snow.
The only thing I wish were different is that they didn’t show stains. I should have gotten the black ones for that probably. Otherwise, I have no complaints! I’ve had them for a month. I wear them to work as a grocery stocker.
These are beautiful work boots steel toe. Great construction and sturdy. They do run a bit small so if you're normal size for example is an eight go eight and a half i. Or order wide.
I Absolutely Love these boots! They look good, feel good, provide support and are steel toe!! I Loved them so much i bought 2 pairs!! I mink oiled the first ones to help them last longer because I am pretty hard on my boots! It darkens them some but still look good!!
