User Reviews
they are light and flexable, the wide fits perfect i recommend dr sholl's inserts. keep them oiled!
Can't stop wearing them because there comfortable and light..
Good shoesGreat price for what you get, especially not being as heavy as steel toe, but all the safety of a steel toe.Ordering my second from Amazon because of main store not having in stock.The only shoe that fits me leaping up and off of my flat bed 10s of times a day year round of work.And also have the flexibility of a tennis shoe to use a moffet or other truck mounted lift.Safe enough to kick steel and not feel it. If you weigh more than 200-230 pounds they will wear out quickly.Definitely need to break in, but this is how most Ariat shoes are.
Nice boot. The only thing is that if I were doing it over again I would have ordered half a size bigger. But as I received it it's good enough that I have not returned the boots and wear them frequently with great satisfaction.
Not enough support, you can feel every little rock you step on. More like a gym shoe, rather than a work boot
Excellent pair of boots so far right out the box no break in time,I do electrician work so on my feet all day at a construction site also do a lot of crouching so I’m on my toes a lot, I like the way the boots has the leather cut so the front part of the boot allows for good frontal flexing so this won’t allow the boot over time to become deformed/leather cracking.They are super light weight but very sturdy and supports foot and ankle the composit toe is fine doesn’t bother toes at all. Only appointment I have is that it’s made in China and not the USA!!
I like the comfortable fit, padded inside and overall wear ability. Barney
Got these for walking in the plant on concrete all day. They took about a week to break in. These flex way more than regular leather work boot. One of the better steel toe boots I have purchased. Will buy again when needed.
