Detailed Review
The Justin Men's Driscoll Electrical Hazard Work Boot excels in both comfort and functionality for professionals who require footwear that can handle demanding environments. The moisture-wicking and anti-microbial Ortholite insole offers remarkable comfort during long hours of wear, allowing you to focus on your tasks rather than discomfort.
Its rugged construction is complemented by the Vibram Commander-X5 rubber outsole, which delivers superior grip and stability—a crucial feature when working in potentially slippery conditions. The electric hazard protection adds an extra layer of safety, making this boot well-suited for electricians or anyone working around live wires.
While the soft toe design is a great advantage in terms of flexibility and comfort, it may pose a limitation for individuals needing robust impact protection. However, for most general work scenarios, the Driscoll boot stands out as both a reliable and visually appealing option.

I bought these for my husband for Christmas in 2017. He did go to the store prior to ordering in order to find the right fit. But did not like the price at the time, so we looked for cheaper price online. He wears a size 13 normally, but fit better in a 12 EE in this brand of work boot.He has worn them since getting them. Did complain in the beginning that they were stiff and hurt at times, but after he broke them in; no issues at all. We are 2.5 years later......and he is again looking at this brand of boot to purchase again.Went last night to the store to try on different brands and check sizing and he is back to wanting Justin boots with the Vibram Commander outsole. Did not buy in the store this time due to only having steel toe in stock (which he does not like).
Comfortable and durable. Nice grip but not good for horseback riding...gets caught in the stirrup.
I'm size 11 regular in all footwear. These Justin boots run VERY large. I intentionally ordered a 10 and still run big. My foot is swimming! About an inch and a half of room in the front of the toe box. Ordering Justin's online is not smart unless you already know the size to order. How can they be so many sizes off? Gonna give them away as a gift.
These definitely run large as most reviewers had said. I initially bought a half size smaller but had to return them for a full size smaller than what I would normally wear. After just a couple days of wearing, they are starting to break in nicely. These are extremely comfortable for a workboot and they seem well made. I'm looking forward to wearing them for years to come!
Extremely comfy. I love Justin's but this pair as far as durability goes is absolute trash. I bought these in September, it's now December and these boots look like they are 5 years old. Will try to get a replacement pair.
These boots feel like they've been worn over and over. Just what I was looking for. No stiff boots to break in. Great for everyday yard work.
Great boot!!!
I am a 10.5 and the fit great in length, I am a D size but these fit like a E size.
