Ive owned these bad boys for 5 years now, same pair, worked too many jobs to count, rand a industrial pressure washer over them to wash them off and they are good to go for the next job, too many good memories of hard work and money made in these bad boys, all I can say is BUY EM
Fairly comfortable and true to size. Seem well made. Hopefully they last for years to come.
Among the other brands I've owned Tony Lama, Nocona, Bates etc. these boots are lacking and I'm sure Justin's US made are better. The style looks nice and they are decent quality however the leather is somewhat thin. The fit is the real problem running a full size larger (I wear a 10 and a size 9D in these fits but loosely). The insole is also cracker thin for a supposed work boot being 1/16" thick at the toe and about 3/16 at the heel. So with replacing the insole should take care of the loose fit and slim cushioning.These are pretty decent boots but clearly reflect the made in China label.
These are are my first cowboy-style workbooks. I like the taller shaft for working in the dirt and how they are pull-on with no laces. I could have sworn the shoes I tried in a box store said "waterproof", but as I discovered yesterday, these are not waterproof. Walking through wet grass and weeds left my feet wet. Disappointing, but then again there is no claim of waterproof on the Amazon listing. Also, the top of the boot is chaffing my legs pretty bad. I don't know if this is normal, but they are a tough work boot and I anticipate my legs will adjust.
Bottom feel off after 6 months
Bought these for my husband at Christmas, now first of February and the boot is falling apart. The inside of the boot wear the back of your heal sits has come apart and plastic breaking out
quality made product,will last for a long time works well and will probably continue to do so I would recommend to my friend. great set of bands This is to prevent the purchase before that will be broken, attentive seller gave a small gift, in short, you can be assured of the quality of products to buy. Very timely delivery and great product.
