Great boot but
Size: 8.5 Wide Color: Oiled Dark Brown
I love the boot. My only issue is that’s the Velcro straps wore out after a year now the boot fits loose which makes it so hard to wear. The return policy asks 1000 and 1 questions before they get to your warranty. I just don’t want to make time to look up purchase history amount blah blah blah.

Exactly what I was hoping for
Size: 8.5 Color: Oily Distressed Brown
I ordered these for work. They require met guards and safety toe. I find the soft met guard more comfortable and I really like the composite toe over steel especially in the winter, toes don't get as cold. They're heavy and feel like foot armor but are still comfortable to wear all day. If they last well I will buy them again. They were expensive, BUT to get all the options I wanted and needed for my working environment it was worth the money. ... show more

Had these for two weeks
Size: 10 Color: Oiled Dark Brown
I bought these boots because a co worker had them for over a year and a half and they were still in really good condition. Being that I work in demolition and commercial diving my boots are beat on, exposed to sparks and lots of water. I usually go through boots in about 4 months. So far so good with these and they look cool so that’s just a bonus. Tight fit, not too heavy, broke in pretty quick as well. Not so easy to remove due to snug fit. I will update this review ... show more

Great boats
Size: 11 Wide Color: Oiled Dark Brown
I've been wearing these boats for a few months and absolutely love them. They're easy to put on with the inside zipper and then you snug them up with the straps.

An investment for your working feet!

Not what they should be
Size: 7 Wide Color: Oiled Dark Brown
Wore these boots for around 2 months off and on. A toe overlap made them uncomfortable for me. After they broke in. I wore them I time with tree climbing spurs. Above picture was the end result. Only portion of said spurs that touched that area was a single leather strap to hold me to the spurs. For $345 and advertised as a "work boot" they didn't impress me. I guess if you're not actually doing "work" they would be fine ... show more

Almost perfect, but
Size: 12 Color: Oiled Dark Brown
After about 6 months the inside liner of one of the boots wore out and ripped open in the back of the heel area making the boots extremely difficult to put on and take off and even painful to wear. A month later the other boot did the same thing. Unfortunate because these things are otherwise the best boots I've ever owned. They are tanks. I've worn them to pour concrete a few times, rinsed them off at the end of the day and feet were relatively dry and the leather hasn't broken down at all as is the case with most boots that get put through that. Feels like the outside of these boots would probably have at least another year in them, but the interior simply couldn't keep up. Wish I had a solution to this problem, but the pain and blistering on the back of my heel is no longer worth it and I'm not sure I can justify the price for a boot that lasts less than a year. ... show more
