This is my out of the box review and I will try to update after a couple months. For context I am an aircraft mechanic so I spend my days outside on my feet walking on concrete and need a tough steel toe boot. There weren’t a whole lot of detailed reviews on this boot so I took a chance and right out of the box they look great. The padding on the inside is quite thick so hopefully in the winter they keep my feet warm and not too hot in the summer. The leather is quite thick so the boot is stiff at first but after some shoe grease and time I think it’ll soften up. I have put them on and walked around the house and yard to get a feel for how hard they are on the bottom and the boots do give a very firm step feeling while not pushing back very hard into the knees and lower back so I believe the sole will hold up while the boot maintains a desirable amount of comfort. My opinion on the “waterproofing” and insoles will not be very helpful as I use custom fit insoles and I apply multiple thick layers of hubbards shoe grease to all of my boots. Overall at first glance and use the boots are nice and well made for the price point but I will update in a couple months after use. Again I am an aircraft mechanic so my experience will be different from construction workers and other tradesmen but I hope this helps
I really like them I would definitely buy again I use them for work and they r holding up great
For a steel toe boot priced at $140 I would expect them to last longer than less than 6 months. Bought back in April and they have already started falling apart. Sole of one of the boots has already cracked and split right open.
This work boot is perfect for casual or work. The steel toe and waterproof makes the boots a perfect choice for everyday use. The boot is lightweight and durable enough for the comfort of your feet. You will enjoy these boots if you choose the right shoe size. Don’t purchase any size smaller or bigger. Your exact size will be fine.
I am very pleased with it I work all day and it's very comfortable
Terrible boots I had to quit wearing them.
