Ad Tec 9" Women Logger Boots Crazy Horse Leather, Plain Soft Safety Toe With Oil Resistant Lug Sole Review

Ya'll, I have put these things through some sh*t. let me explain. The day these boots got here, I put them on my feet & went straight outside to work. I dug in them, wore them while building my chicken coop, ive worn them in the rain & in the mud. this is literally the only footware I own. I put them on when I get up & take them off when it's shower & bed time. Their a great (surprised the crap out of me) heavy, well made tough ass pair of boots. As a women it's so freaking hard to find a pair of boots to actually use to work in & not just for oh! "pretty boots" 😶 but these things have held up freaking fantastically & I can promise you I put them through their paces before I dared make this review. All the stitching is done well, the bottoms are so far very secure & all in all I've no issue. The eyelets are holding up well as are the lace loops on the upper part. They stay tied well & I have only had one issue that was totally my fualt as I am a bigger called girl & hate to use my upper lace hole. So the last boot loop that was unused on the very top of my boot got hung once on something & bent outward. I bent it right back & havnt had an issue since. They are heavy & that first day from box to work went well over all, I did have a bit of a blister for on my heel that day, but after the leather broke in the next day or so there was no more issue with that. I think that's with any stiff new boot though. Over all they fit & wear very well. Will definitely buy another pair, their absolutely worth every penny to someone looking for a real work boot. *UPDATE* So as much as I still love the boots they wear great & are holding up well structurally but I have a couple of silly huffy things that bug me. So I thought I'd share. The boot is made of nice high grade leather, but for some reason they decided to cheap out on the fold at the top of the boot (pics are included) where the inside & outside of the boot meet at the top & use that cheap fake leatylher crap. Now mine is peeling off it has nothing to do with the wear of the boot, but It just bugs me. The laces are also cheap & freying already, I've purchased new laces to fix that though. All in all, still a great boot. But I literally have only this pair of boots, no other foot wear & wear them everyday. I am not easy on them either. So their a great boot for sure. Just my ocd kicking in on the peeling of the pleather. 😅

Shipping was quick. Got exactly what I ordered in that they were true to their pictured color, size, everything. Boots fit like a glove. While anyone who's had loggers knows, there is a break-in period and these aren't cushy footwear. They're designed to take a beating throughout some rough work conditions, and they will definitely do that. If you want the ability to wear insoles/padding under foot right out of the box, I'd order a 1/2 size larger -- but bear in mind that, once the boots do break-in, they will afford slightly more foot room. I wear a size 8 and I ordered size 8, and they fit like they were made for my feet. Love them!UPDATE 2022: Just wanted to follow up here, so folks who are curious about how long these boots will last. I've now had these boots for three years and have used them for logging, heavy yard work and every day. I *just* managed to break off one of the hooks on the left boot, but everything else is SOLID about these boots. Leather has held up great, including working in sand and gravel, and I did end up buying another pair exactly like these a year later, along with an additional black pair. The color, particularly these lighter brown pair, will stain over time, that is if you're actually *working* in them. They had a slight brushed finish when I originally got them, and I've now worn them to where the leather is smooth on parts of the toe, but there's still no harm to the leather, no sole splitting, heels are solid. Seriously the best boot I've ever bought....I know I'm repeating myself, but I can't say it enough, especially when folks buy something online that "looks great' only to find out they suck. These are NOT those. Totally the best!VERY IMPRESSIVE PRODUCT right outta the box. Wouldn't trade these for ANY other boots I've ever had.UPDATE 2023: I still have these boots and, as previously mentioned, aside from losing a single hook near the top, these boots are STILL going strong and are still the boots I work in everyday. The leather has a bit more scarring over the years, but overall, still provide me the best fit and durability for my money. We're about to start another round of logging and, while these are definitely built to last, they also provide me great foot and ankle support so that when I'm climbing across logs, fallen scrap, cut wood, I don't have issues with ankle twisting or the boot being so loose/worn that they no longer provide that additional protection. Again, can't say it enough....you want a boot that'll last, THESE are the ones!

So I liked these boots because it's well made outside and the sole is definitely drill in good so those won't be coming off.The inside was a bit too roomy by toes. And not much lining inside.I returned them and got boots that are more snug with lining for warmth and I just like sift lining in my shoes

These are of really good quality. Better than I had expected at a decent price. They felt a bit loose when I first put them on, and not super-comfy, but then I put in some ortho-pads, and that made a HUGE difference. I wore them every day for a week, and they got more and more comfortable. They look great and are legit work boots! Good about repelling water, too. Can't say enough about how much I like these boots. It is important that people know that any good work boots aren't going to be comfy right out of the box, but get an insert and wear them consistently, and they will feel like a part of your foot before you know it! :)
