Great work boots!
The shoe fell apart after 5 months of use. Very dissatisfied, especially with the expensive price tag. The last pair we bought from the brand lasted over a year with constant use.
These are the only boots i will buy these are my second pair my first pair lasted 2 years and i use them roughly as my job requires it! Fits good no blisters and last a long time in my opinion!
My wife talked me into ordering these boots. I like them. You can certainly feel the cushion from the extra on the bottom of the boot. Only time will tell, but i think they will do just fine.
