Skechers Men's Burgin-Tarlac Industrial Boot, Black, 13

I liked the fact that these boots were comfortable & really good quality for a cheaper brand. They also had the the size i wanted available in Wides, which was quite x challenge when searching for boots that were the right size with the option to choose my size in wides. I was hoping for the near future for them to be available in more colors. But im very happy with my purchase. Oh and the only downside was they aren't waterproof which would of been a great benefit for use in the snow. Maine winters can be rough and it really sucks having to work in wet boots.

So far so good. These boots are a little stiff. The sole is decent but not the best. You may need to add another comfort insert to get better comfort but like I said they are decent. You can wear pretty much through a 8 hour work shift with the insert that come with these and your want be too worn out (buy a companion insert for more comfort). Your feet will sweat in these. Make sure to buy the correct fit so your feet are not sliding around. I usually wear size 10.5 and bought size 11 and these fit just right. They also squeak when you walk. Just the leather hasn't been broken it. I've had these for almost 2 months and they still squeak. Anyway these are extremely great value for the price I paid ($39.99 on sale). I've bought $80 or $90 boots that weren't as good as these. The strings are okay, but last pair I had of these the boot strings broke and had to get a new set. Over all the steel toes are a plus working with heavy equipment. And the soles have great traction on wet surfaces (unless you step on wet leaves walking down someone's wooden ramp).

These are an alright pair of boots for the price, well made and reasonably comfortable, the leather is a little stiff in the beginning, so be sure to work it a little for the first week after that they’re pretty A-ok, as always if you take care of them they will last a long time

Dr. Scholls went way up. Im cheap. I dont want to spend a lot of money on work boots. These were reasonably priced, they looked good and were non slip. They were Skechers. Never tried the brand, but I had heard good things. I got a couple of pairs and I love them. If they leave the price alone, I will buy more. If they follow Dr. Scholls, I wont. I don't care how good they are, Im not paying $90 for a pair of work boots. But these are great! A little heavy, but they are steel toe. Dr. Scholls were ultra lightweight. These are not as comfortable, but for the difference in money, they ROCK!! These so called intelligent types that run big companies feel it is a good idea to raise prices on things that are selling good. Not smart enough to understand that the price point has a lot to do with that fact. They raise prices, the product stops selling. Morons are scratching their heads wondering why they aren't selling as many. Its amazing to me how stupid these smart people are. I wonder sometimes how they can walk and breathe at the same time. Its the same with all of these morons. Raise the price, the product is selling. Before you know it, the product has been discontinued due to lack of sales. Try going back to the old price! You might just be surprised. Buy the Skechers! They are good!

UPDATE to my original review: Ended up tossing these boots in the trash. As mentioned before, my feet have never smelled until I wore these boots for work. These boots somehow brought out the worst foot odor and you could never get it out of them. Of the 10+ pairs of boots and shoes I own (some 10yrs old), my feet have never smelled and they never smelled. Secondly, 2 months of trying to wear these and they have been the worst and most uncomfortable shoes/boots I have ever owned. Blisters and sore feet since day 1. They are so bad that I wouldn't give them to a homeless person.Their name was good when they first came out....but now, I am not sure. Here is why...1: Inside of the boot is cheap and you can feel the steel toe edge inside the boot on top of your foot. Very thin material and even had a crease in foot from this edge when laying on ground working for a while.2: Odor-accelerating insoles. I have NEVER...and I mean, NEVER had stinky feet problems until I got these boots. Within 2 times of wearing them they smelled awful of foot odor... Yet, all my other work boots and shoes have no odor at all. When I wear these for a few hours just walking around, you can start to smell foot odor from them. I don't know what or how this is possible, but when I change into my 14yr old boots I have no issues.3: Not sure what they tested anti-slip on...but these boots are the worst boots on wet surfaces or around oil or grease I have ever owned. They seem to absorb oils and grease and track it worse than anything I have owned. Getting on a ladder with them a little wet is almost asking to slip off a rung.4: Take a long time to break in. After blisters on heels and feet, they took nearly a month to break enough to not be so stiff... I work 12-14hr days on my feet and these boots broken in have to be taken off after about 8hrs or so and switched. They are so stiff and you feel every little edge and bump in these boots. I have a set of walmarboots for a 1/4 of the price that were some of the most comfortable and durable boots I have had aside from my expensive ones.Cheaply made, not tested properly, uncomfortable, has serious odor control problems, insoles flatten out within a week, and overpriced.

Heaviest boot I've seen. Like wearing ankle weights. Seems well made with a substantial non-slip, puncture-resistant sole. Very wide and big toe box (regular width ordered). The pleather uppers are dimpled to resemble exotic animal skin. Good looking boot and we'll see how long it lasts. Hard to put moleskin above big toes because the steel toe portion was rubbing feet raw. A good value at $40.

Very comfortable boots , feet stays dry , sturdy and not too heavy even for steel toes. Materials has held up and I will purchase again or recommend
