User Reviews
Fit well needed more padding to make comfortable but overall love the boots
I love these boots. I work in the rail industry and Im pretty hard on boots. These are absolutely the most comfortable boots out there. For these boots to be steel toe they are amazing. I feel like Im wearing tennis shoes!!!!
These boots are really comfortable but I was hoping that they would have lasted longer than a year at 170$. The stitching on the side of one boot and heel of the other has come apart.
At the time I paid about $200 for these boots thinking that they were great work boots because my dad wore them for years, so I got myself a pair but within a month of wearing them to work (I work in a machine shop so they don’t get stretched out a lot) the stitching came undone. Very disappointed in the quality of the boot. I wouldn’t recommend for every day use.
I was looking for the square toe but ordered the round toe instead. They fit a little more narrow. They are great boots though when they fit right. Too bad I think they discontinued the square toe in this model.
Love that these boots don't have to be broken in to be comfortable. I work in construction and these boots are put to work as soon as they arrive.
Great boots
