User Reviews
I bought these work shoes 5 years ago and I really can't complain, they came out very good, good quality of material, comfortable, completely waterproof, a little heavy due to the iron cube in the toe but nothing that you can't get used to over time. In this last year the material of the tips began to come off as you can see in the video for both shoes but it didn't go beyond that, what did happen to me is that the sole wore out over time as you can see and small holes were made. due to which water penetrates the shoe and becomes uncomfortable, but beyond that I can continue using them in dry environments without rain.In short, highly recommended if you want good work shoes at a good price.
Ordered these as I was quite tired of things in the shop landing on my feet. Was going to buy a pair from the Big Box store with the initial W, but all they carried were the wide versions, which after trying them on, was far too big. Decided to take a chance on these as they looked the right height for good support, and not too heavy. Was surprised when I received them actually how stout and heavy they are. They are very well constructed with good quality leather and other materials, and the toe box is not cramped at all, compared to other boots that I have worn over the years. The sole is quite thick and not flimsy at all. For as heavy as they feel in hand, once on, they are very comfortable. It may take a bit of time to get used to the weight, but then, I've been used to wearing only sneakers for the past I don't know how long. Fortunately (?) I have not tested the toe protection thus far, but given the rest of the boot, I have no doubt that my feet will be very well protected. These are stated to be waterproof as well, but have not tested that aspect to this point. However, from overall inspection, the materials used and the construction would lend itself to very well be waterproof. Time will tell on that facet. Give them a go....I don't think you will regret it in any way.
I only wear this brand of boots since 2007 ive only had to replace 3 sets. These have been through hell and back working in super slippery corosive environments yet these are still going strong. These are the best boots ever they are super comfy but as usual after so long of wearing anything it does wear down but nothing a good insert cant help with but other than that one of the most solid sets of steel toe boots ever in my life.10 stars
This is my third pair of these boots. They're comfortable and wide. Certified steel toes. I work outside in different terrain, dirt, mud, rain, Dimond plate, and they perform well. When new they're slippery on wet metal decks like Dimond Plate platforms. My feet stay dry in light rain and maybe a 1/4 of standing water. The boots sure don't breathe though. The steel toes work, a fork lift rolled over the steel toe and nothing happened. It saved me from crushed toes. When the boots wear, it's usually the soles get holes and some stitching.BUUUUT....the boots don't last as long as they use to. The first two pairs lasted about two years each. This third pair only last 10 months. I'm doing the same job. So I'm hoping this pair was just bad manufacturing this time around. So I just purchased a fourth pair. Let's see how long the new pair last and I'll follow up. If this fourth pair last less than a year again, I'll change my rating and search for new boots.
Sold as "Used" but looked brand new to me with tags still on them. No scratches or scuffs, nicely boxed.Matches my Cat jacket (which I also love and have received a lot of compliments). Wore them the first day with no blisters or extra stiffness. Seemed comfortable. Great value in the features like steel toes protection, full leather uppers, waterproof, slip resistant, electrical protection. I can say they are resistant to slipping as I walked in the snow this morning and felt no slipping.Even at the full regular price, I would conclude that these are a great value.
Most comfortable work boot I have ever owned. Solid, comfortable footwear. Were very easy to break in.
good fit... good traction on snow... nice enough to wear to church!
First, I’d like to say that these boots are very nice and priced well for what you get and they are waterproof. They are pretty comfortable and they don’t take much for break-in, but on one of mine the toe area inside lining has come slightly undone from the steel toe and it rubs against my toes, there doesn’t seem to be much I can do about it and it is very irritating. I might try and contact the manufacturer to see if there is a warranty but I seriously doubt it. I probably wouldn’t buy these again knowing that. If there ends up being a warranty and they stand behind it, I will update this review to reflect that to be fair.
