Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex 6" Comp Toe Work Boot, Brown Oil Tanned Leather, 11

First boot that is comfortable from day one!!! No break in time and they last mine are still going strong!! Last longer than my Carolinas.. and I used to only buy Carolina, not anymore.... But and you'll see why, trust me!!

No complaints. Comfy

I’m very Impressed with these Carhartt boots. They are very comfortable and especially with wide feet. Was going to do a review in about 6 months but completely forgot & now it’s been a year. Definitely worth the month! I still have & use them! Will buy again when needed.

I’ve worn these boots, working as a arborist, a landscaper, a carpenter, and an electrician. Since October 2021 (18months). I have replaced the laces on them, replaced the insoles twice, and greased them once.These boots held up well under consistently harsh conditions. Boots typically last for a year and these exceeded my 1 year expectations. The toes have held up well, and the outsoles have hardly worn. The leather has creased and started to tear just below the laces, and the rubber around the heel tore on just one boot. Also notable damage was on the right foot toe, where the leather tore away from the outsole. These boots held up well, and have outlived their usefulness.If I had grease the boots more often, i may have slowed the leather tears, but the rubber heel tear was unavoidable. Good for walking through forests, not good for standing on hard surfaces.

Had these over a year and they are still holding strong. Love these boots. Comfortable, water resistant, and the comp toe has saved me more then a few times.

Everything is good with the product

I have had these boots for about 10 months now and have put together my below thoughts.My use for these boots:I work primarily in an office setting, but wear safety toe boots every weekday because I need them for visiting job sites and other areas for work where safety toe boots are required. I also wear these boots whenever I am tinkering around the house, or upfield hunting.My Initial thoughts:I had to buy a $15 pair of inserts about 2-4 weeks after buying them because they were that uncomfortable for myself without them. To be fair, I have wore Irish setter boots in the past, and after about 6-8 months I usually need the inserts for them as well, but with these Carhartt boots, it was almost immediate. With the inserts, the boots are fairly comfortable and I have no issue walking in them all day. The composite toe does feel like it is starting to dig into my toes slightly, but it is not painful or too uncomfortable at this point. I am sure if I were to wear these for another 6 months, it would get worse.My thoughts on the boots quality.The bottom of the boots are holding up really well. No punctures/holes, and the wear is very minimal - again keeping in mind that I wear these 75% of the time in an office setting - so that is to be somewhat expected.The laces are honestly garbage in my experience. They have broke on me in a few spots and I should have replaced them right away, but I just never did.The composite toe works definitely works. I had a large piece of plate steel fall onto the end of my boot and experienced no pain.The boot is separating slightly at the toe portion. I believe it is called the 'welt' (not 100% sure). It is not a stitched connection, so I was not surprised when I saw start to come apart at about 4 months.The sides of these boots are pretty thin. I have not experienced any holes in the sides, but if something sharp were to hit the sides of these boots where my toes were, I don't think it would have much trouble stabbing through the leather.My closing thoughts.At about 10 months, these boots are still kicking for me. I am going to buy some new laces (should cost about $10-$15) to extend the life of these boots by hopefully a few more months. If you are looking for a less expensive pair of boots like these, I think these are a decent option IF you have your expectations set correctly and you make a few modification right away.I would recommend buying a boot insert and new laces right away. So be prepared to spend about $25-$30 right off the bat.As far as expectations go, realize you are not buying the comfiest/best boots out there, but know that these are not going to fall apart on you right away and they won't kill your feet if you get an insert. I would imagine these boots would last someone in the trades 6 months to a year, and someone in my position 1 year - 1.5 years (with the modifications I suggested). For $125 ($155 w/ my recommended additions) these boots are just fine.

For a while now I had been looking for a composite type safety boot because of it's weight. I travel all lot. I took a chance and have not regretted my choice. Light weight, all day comfort and the safety toe end does not rub on my toes.
