User Reviews
These shoes are a million times more comfortable than the timberland pro work boots I was wearing at work. They have a lot more room in the toe box which is great because my orthotics separate my toes so I don’t get an inflamed nerve between them. My only issue is the sole started separating from the shoe a bit on my right foot near my toe area on the inside. No biggie though. I’ll glue it together again when it becomes an issue.

As described. They're comfortable for steel toe boots and are wearing well. Fits like a sneaker/boot. Arrived 2 days late. Satisfied w this purchase.
I got these for work in a factory, because of how light weight they are and the need of steel toed shoes.I did the prime try before you buy with this pair and another not so light pair. I kept these and sent the others back.. But after standing in these for a couple weeks, I decided to re-order the other pair, they are heavier but were more comfortable.I was coming home with my feet aching and couldn't wait to get out of these.. I did keep them and will likely still wear them but not mulitple days in a row. But I am very picky about my shoes and how they fit.They fit well and I had no reason to think they wouldn't be comfortable. These are super light weight and many people wear this style at the plant. I wouldn't not buy them based on my review, ymmv..So, read other reviews and give them a try.
