Kodiak Men's Greb 8" Steel Toe Safety Work Boot Industrial, Brown, 7 Wide
Loafer ShoesWe are Canada's Boot maker. It's been that way since 1910. Deeply ingrained in our approach is the knowledge that where we put effort, we find pride, sweat, hard work, good planning, smart thinking, determination to overcome - we celebrate these moments of progress. They can be simple everyday moments - or steps toward collective accomplishments. In this spirit, Kodiak makes shoes for the men and women who push forth. Who beat a path to their workshops, worksites and factories everyday - no matter what. The ones who keep going because the desire to see what's down the path or around the corner pulls them ahead. Those who dig in, reach out and find a way to move forward. Because progress matters more than achievement. And progress only happens when we're in it together.

I ordered a size 14 wide! Received a 14 medium! What a hassle! First time ordering from Kodak!
From my review posted to TrustPilot:A long time ago I had a pair of Kodiak Boots. They had pale brick red Vibram soles and were the best boots I ever owned. Indestructible. Styles change and after ten years they were beat up and I threw them out, but I could not WEAR THEM OUT.I went away from Kodiak for a while, but a while back I saw them in a store and, based on my previous experience, enthusiastically bought another pair. I didn’t wear them often, perhaps 20 – 30 times over about 20 months, but the last time I wore them the heels and soles basically fell apart – turned to powder really, deep inside the sole.I was disappointed, but was sure this must just be a bad batch of sole compound and a known problem. I was sure they would be apologetic and do something appropriate.To be brief, that discussion was even more disillusioning. The essence of their reply was this quote: “The boots seem to be experiencing a common phenomenon known as “hydrolysis” … the breakdown and chemical decomposition of the polyurethane compounds due to a reaction with moisture in the air.” This mostly occurs, according to them, when the boots are kept for a long time in an enclosed storage like a box. Mine were kept in a large open closet and, although not worn frequently, were worn regularly. [To be fair, i was offered a 20% discount on a replacement pair but, given the fact that this problem is "common", I would not trust another pair at any price, for fear they would fail in rough country at a critical time, causing injury or worse.]So, we have a fairly expensive pair of outdoor boots, now apparently being made with a far lower quality sole than the previous Vibram (which based on a variety of boots is a great material). These Kodiak boots, presumptuously touted as “Canada’s Boot” by the manufacturer, apparently are not designed to be used in any place where there is “moisture in the air”; this is a state seldom encountered in Canada. Perhaps they should more correctly be called Saudi Arabia’s Boots!My advice to the company – Go back to Vibram soles or find some other material that can tolerate moisture without disintegrating; don’t sell boots that fall apart. My advice to the potential buyer – check the sole material; until it changes, use and store Kodiak boots only in the desert, where they might serve you well.Date of experience: July 10, 2023
