User Reviews
I wear a sz 11 shoe, but when I put on a tyvek suit, I end up the excess at the foot which I thought I would need room. I order a 12 and it was still to big. I would go with your normal shoe size. Returned for an exchange, which was hassle free but there is a $17 S&H from merchant and $35 to ship back from the P.O. Great boot though!
The boots looked great on arrival, but their description stated they were Tested and meets CAN / CSA-Z195 standards for electric shock resistance/CAN aproved but they have no CSA green triangle of approval on the boot or in the tags with the boots. My company would not reimburse me for the purchase price without CSA tags. I emailed the company to explain why I had to return the boots because they were not as described and they want me to pay 20% restocking fee plus shipping each way. If I knew the boots did not have CSA approval tags I would of never purchased them..Be warned..
