Iron Age Groundbreaker Men's Safety Toe Industrial Boot Black - 11.5 Medium

I had my doubts but these are, without a doubt, the most comfortable boots ive owned for many years. I'll definitely order these again.They do run large, maybe order a size smaller

The metguard leather going to the toe is the way to go. I can't find other shoes like that.The first thing that happened, is the leather loop on the back tore off.The heal box too large by far.The leather that takes the laces wraps all the way around my ankle, leaving no space between the sides of the shoe, so laces don't tie well.If they just put the eyelets further away from the tongue I would be able to lace them better.making the healbox smaller would also help.getting rid of the loop on the back would also be good.Had to get insoles... expect to for most shoes.I had to bump this up a star from 3 to 4 because how all the other shoes have nice channels for molten metal to go in. this one has the metgurd flap correct, and the leather in the tongue should stop some that flows in...but the quality of the materials is poor, and I have to walk slower because of loose shoes... but for the price, 4 stars is earned. I've had them about 3 months now and parts are threatening to fall apart. I work with molten brass and aluminum.there is a seam that is amplified by the loop in back that is totally unneeded.I bought carhartt insoles and some leather heal box support leather.this definately needs thoseI have 11.5 shoes, size 12 carhartt insoles fit without cutting.the toebox seems fine. the boot can't lace tight.the plastic sides leave a gap above the heal, the hem of my pants will cover this...I don't think these would be worth it if there were any other shoes with metguards in stock...I step on molten metal frequently, and I believe that the stiches thru the tread may cause rapid decomposition of the shoe.

My husband is a welder and works with galvanized steel for 12+ hrs per day. I bought these boots for him as a christmas gift and he loves them! He says they are exactly what he needs being they are steel toed and have the external toe and metatarsal protection as well! He typically wears a 14W but the 14M was just fine so I assume they a little on the wide side. My husband also says the soles are pretty thick a d he may need insoles but they are surprisingly light weight for how bulky they are.

I liked the quality of the leather...they have just enough room for an insole insert and wool socks... They are much warmer than I expected. I work in a fabrication shop that is unheated and I am on either steel or concrete floors all day... And my feet are comfortable all day long... I highly recommend these👍

So far so good definitely worth the price sized big which is fine for me most are tight good leather

Almost as good as the 300 dollar pair that lasted me 10 years, let's see what I get out of theese

Great work boots

Love the shoe it fits me perfectly
