Georgia Men's Pull-On Mud Dog Steel Toe Comfort Core Work Boot Review

I'm not a professional logger so i don't need a really "heavy leather" work boot. However, having grown up and into my college years felling pulp wood and timber as well as selling firewood i know what the professional loggers in my area wore. I no longer need boots like that.I ordered these from Amazon so could not try them on in person. I read reviews where some folks found them too small, others complained they were too large so I ordered a size 11M (my normal length and width). BANG!!!! Perfect fit. My feet are like duck feet - heel is a bit narrow and forefoot is a bit wide. Also, my feet are "thin" not "thick" from the sole of my foot to the top so it can be difficult to find boots that fit me well (minimal heel slip, good support across the top of my foot above the arch, etc).This is a *very* high quality work boot. The leather is supple and very easily "broke in". I wore my boots around the office for a couple days to get the tongue and kiltie set as well as getting the ankle and forefoot flexing on a "neutral" surface (level ground) before wearing it in a "working" situation.One reason this boot is easily broke in is that it is not a "heavy" leather boot (which make boots very stiff with difficult ankle and forefoot flexing). By heavy leather, I mean from about 2.8mm to +3mm thick full-grain leather. For example, my heavy hiking and mountaineering boots are both +3mm Idro Perwanger Italian leather and were very stiff initially (though the mid-sole construction/material/insulation affected that as well).I suspect this boot is in the 2.6mm range, even though Georgia Boot says it's full-grain it doesn't seem like other thick full-grain leather boots. To me, it means that this boot will probably not resist gouging as well as the heavier, thicker professional $400/pair logging boots. These are not $400 boots.But these ARE excellent $130.00 boots.I seriously doubt there is a better, longer-lasting, higher-performing boot in this price range.Another reason these boots break in so easily is that they do not have a thick, rigid or semi-rigid "mid-sole" that is super stiff like professional logging boots use. These boot mid-soles and soles are pleasantly semi-flexible and provide a great balance between being like sneakers and being like mountaineering (or ski) boots. They flex with your foot like when you're kneeling to pick something up - not like a plank that just won't bend.The soles (and the material they're made from) are very good. I've been wearing my boots around the homestead here working on different things and they give excellent traction. I recently wore my boots while cleaning gutters, the chimney, inspecting shingles, etc and the material of the sole is soft enough to be "grippy" on the shingles, but has been hard enough when I've needed to stomp a shovel in the hard, dry ground turning soil to irrigate trees without flopping around like a tennis shoe or some cheap "wannabe" work boots.One thing to note about the sole material. It is soft like mud tires on a bicycle, motorcycle or truck. They do really well in mud, dirt, gravel, etc but wear quickly if you drag your feet on cement or asphalt.These boots are comfortable like an old, favorite pair of boots that are almost worn out - but these are brand spanking NEW!!!!Finally, these boots are "waterproof" enough for me - they haven't soaked through as i've been pressure washing stuff around the homestead. Your needs may be different, but for me they're waterproof "enough".They're great boots and i doubt you'll be disappointed.PS - I do not work for Georgia boot or Amazon and received nothing from them for this review.

I work in landscaping, so my footware can go from dry to wet to caked in mud back to dry and wet again in the matter of an hour and I've been looking for a decent boot that doesn't break the bank that's also comfortable, waterproof and has a hard toe and these are holding up great ( so far 1 month of use, about 8-10 miles/day, 6 days a week). I go thru about 2 pairs every year, and I've realized buying expensive boots that'll inevitably bust out on me isn't the way to go any longer, and for the price and rubber upper with leather, I figured I'd give these a try. I'm a true size 13 but some boots I need a 14 for width, and my only two qualms with these are 1.) the toe box is a smidge too tight depending on the socks I wear (they're not "insulated" but they're damn near insulated so a thinner sock could absolutely work for most).2.) the laces are basically cooked spaghetti. I'd recommend having a spare set of laces on hand to swap out when they do break, or get ahead of it and replace them immediately and use the ones it came with as backupOverall so far, 8.5/10. If I got a size 14 instead of 13 I think they'd be too roomy so I don't mind a thinner sock, and the laces are just awful but that doesn't take away from the build of the boot.

Always liked the quality of my Georgia Boots! I use a cutting torch daily and wanted a boot without laces so these are perfect for my need. However, the extra rubber coating makes the boot bend higher up on my instep, rather than near the toes (you know, where your foot bends)! Not used to wearing pull-on style boots, so the fit was looser than expected, but still comfortable to wear all day, once the instep breaks in ;)

I looked at more than a hundred different pair of boots with money not an issue. I chose these because of the heal design and lace to toe fit. The leather is soft for this heaver boot. I chose the style without the steel toe since I am using these as my dress boots for church. I walk buy people notice. The sound they make on a wood floor is music to my ears. Sounds like a man is coming. Great Boots I was told by more than a few Georgia boots were hard to beat! Fit was perfect exactly what I new my size to be.

The toe box is just not wide enough. I don't have an unusually wide foot but I ordered a 12 Wide because I knew a work boot needs to be comfortable and sometimes you need to ware a thick sock. Well unfortunately the boots are still not wide enough. I'm hoping they will get better as I break them in but that is rarely the case. Otherwise the boots look great and they seem high quality. Hoping for the best.

I have used them for only a few months now and already they are breaking down and leaking water inside the boot. Looks like I have to take them into a boot cobbler for repair.

This is my 5th purchase because of how long they last each time. Excellent quality, well-made and very durable. Of course like anything else, constant use each day means normal wear and tear. But these boots last years before I have to purchase another pair. It’s comfortable and meets the safety requirements. Can’t beat quality and comfort of Georgia Boots!

Christmas gift but buy for him every year and he loves them
