Cat Footwear Women's Paisley 6" ST Industrial Boot, Dolphin, 7.5

Never had such comfortable work boots. Not stiff, no need to break them in. Very warm in cold weather, as I live in Michigan. True to size, and they're super cute. Highly recommend!

I love that this is a workbook that also looks good. Does not look or feel cheap at all. Boot is steel toe, but still not heavy to wear. My feet are pretty small. I normally wear a 7 wide, but I got a 7.5 wide to make sure I had room with socks. My feet were still a tiny bit snug on the sides, but I was comfortable and I feel like as ai wear the boot and the leather stretches, I will have more room. The seller's packaging was a nightmare! The box was smashed and taped back together and the item was mailed in a plastic bag, which doesnt help the already compromised packaging. Shipping took several days. However, I love the product. Rating less because the storing and shipping method squished the boots and they are a little misshaped. I'm sure after wearing, they will be okay :) I've attached a photo of the inner label so that you can see the safety ratings of this shoe. I would buy again if I needed to!

I am always skeptical about ordering shoes online because they usually are terribly uncomfortable. Don't fit to size. And returning is difficult when you have difficulty getting around to places. I did the Try before you buy and I would definitely use try before you buy again. A great way to try out before making the commitment and spending the money up front. These boots were recommended by a Coworker who has had a pair of CAT Womens steel toe boots like these for over 5 years and she swears by them and says they are the most comfortable boot she's ever owned. I've been wearing mine for a week now and I just love them ! Of course they're a little stiff at first because they are total leather and have great ankle support. I can tell already they are going to be easy and comfortable during the breaking in phase. The heelInside is like an athletic shoe. Very supportive yet also very comfortable. I stand and walk and am on my feet an average of 13-15 hours a day and I would HIGHLY recommend these CAT work boots.

BEWARE if you have to Exchange sizes…even after drop-off, the vendor takes forever to shift the Status to “Drop-Off,” which delays your refund even longer! Ordered these boots thinking that the Cat Footwear quality was good; they arrived and the “W” isn’t really “W” and the size isn’t really true-to-size [i.e., smaller than size]. The quality is not what I remember in the CAT brand product line. The exchange delivery was reasonable, but going up a full size did not change the fact that “W” was not a true “W,” and the fit wasn’t true. After almost a week after “Drop-Off,” the vendor still hasn’t changed the Return Status to “Drop-Off.”

Fabric wore off super quick on the toes. Quicker than any other steel toes I’ve bought, but other than that, they’re nice and snug!

I purchased these because of my job. Had a horse show his appreciation for being groomed by stepping on my toe. These have been easy on the feet to break in. I thought I'd ordered composite toe, but these are steel toe. Very rigid, durable materials.Very happy with this one!

I bought these for work after I learned the hard way that I needed better toe protection. They look awesome (generally speaking — see below) and could easily pass for regular day-to-day boots as they're relatively fashionable compared to a lot of work boots out there. They're surprisingly comfortable and I haven't had an issue with my feet getting too hot (which I expected they might).The one issue I have with these boots was the process I went through to get a decent pair — I ended up having to purchase three pairs and settling on the pair with the least quality defects. The first pair I received had mismatched insoles (one was Carhartt brand, which wasn't a problem in itself but it was actually slightly thicker than the other) and had a large black mark on one shoe. The leather on the second pair was very stretched out and had some noticeable scuff marks. The third pair was almost the best, until I realized mid-day that the lace loop on the tongues were completely different colors (as if the person making the boots picked up the wrong piece when assembling them). After being disappointed by three pairs, I ended up keeping the first pair with the black mark and just swapping out the Carhartt insole.As mentioned, these things definitely serve their purpose in protecting my feet and they look pretty nice. I can get over the mark on the side of the boot as it's in a relatively inconspicuous place, but I'm still disappointed that I couldn't get a blemish-free pair of these boots for the price I paid.

They kinda sucked to break in but once they were they are really comfortable! They do seem kind of narrow so if you have wide feet the toe box can be uncomfortable. But overall, they are actually really cute workboots and seem to be holding up really well. I work 10 to 12 hour days on in a CMT lab so I haven't tested them in the field but I feel they'd hold their own. It'd be sick if they had a composite toe version.
