User Reviews
Today they were comfy and I broke into them easily. I was also telling people about these boots and now others want them. They are lightweight and comfortable better than my other ones I was wearing for work which I brought those home. Best boots ever we will see how long they last but my job won’t barely destroy these.
I like this boot, the shoelaces are a bit short for my swollen 15s, but overall it provides amazing support, and is extremely light weight.
One of the most comfortable boots I’ve worn, water resistant to an extent. Don’t step in a larger puddle that’ll come up just above the sole of your boots.These are very lightweight, even with them being steel toed. The metatarsals aren’t really there, just some padding from the boot. The traction on water, oil, and some ice is really good too.
SO FAR SO GOOD, I GO THRU 2 OR THREE PAIRS A YEAR, JOB IS TOUGH ON SHOES
These boots are way lighter than any other metatarsal boot I’ve worn. Great soul for being on concrete all day too. The breathable fabric is great. No more sweaty feet after a long day. If you have to wear a safety shoe with metatarsal guards this is it. You don’t even feel the metatarsal guard even with tight laces.
I would give it 4.5 stars because the top lace holders came apart. So I returned and ordered the same pair again. Assuming there was a defect for that pair.But I gave it 5 stars because I wore these for 30 hours straight out of the box and it felt like I got a foot massage at the end of the day. These boots need zero time to break in. The more I wore them, the better they got too.Best Met guard and toe protective shoe.As light weight as my Brooks running shoes. Insanely light weight!!!
I really like these boots. I work on my feet all day long and am flat footed. These boots give me the support I need and are not fatiguing. Money well spent , I am going to buy another pair.
True to size. But definitely recommend always the wide platform. It also has a more reinforced heel area. Much more than other work boots I had. The metatarsal protection is more like a padded tongue, there is no structural part. Good sole. Very stealth for a work boot. Been looking for them for a long time now. Great product. Reviews says it last long. We will see!
