Best Work Boots I’ve Ever Owned (Machinist Review)
Size: 12.5 X-Wide
Color: Black
Some of the best work boots I’ve ever worn. I work in a machine shop and on top of walking around on concrete all day.. I also am stepping on hot and sharp metal chips, oil and all kinds of different lubricants. These boots protect my feet from all of it. No slipping. No metal through my foot. But th
e best part about these boots is how good they feel on my feet. I’ve bought boots that cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars that don’t feel nearly as good as these Fitville boots do. I have very wide feet so the “X-Wide” size is PERFECT. They are breathable and lightweight and my feet don’t feel sweaty and smell like some boots have. I don’t have the same back and knee pain anymore now that I wear these boots. They are really just that comfortable. I have very arched feet and it’s hard to find any shoe or boot that doesn’t make my back and legs hurt by the end of the day. But these boots let me do my job and stand on my feet all day without pain. We have $150 boot vouchers every year at my job and I always just buy two pairs of these Fitville boots. They do wear down pretty fast but honestly in my trade even the most expensive boots do too. I’d bet at a job where you’re not walking on red hot sharp metal chips all day and stepping in oils that break down the soles I’m sure these boots would last a very long time. The price is just too good. A pair would last me a year easily but since I get the boot voucher I just buy two pairs and replace them every 6 months. Perfect. I honestly can’t say enough good things about these boots. Some people claim they’re too loose but as I said.. for someone with very large and wide feet they fit PERFECTLY. The ONLY con I can think of is the laces seem to wear down pretty fast. But this may be more about the conditions I work in and that fact that I’m working 6 days a week. I can usually get through the 6 months to a year still being able to tie my boots even if the laces start to wear down. And worse comes to worse I’ve just bought a new set of $3 boot laces. These are literally the best work boots I have ever used. The price is right. The quality is right.

Go One Size Up, Great Boots Go One Size Up, Great Boots
Size: 13 X-Wide
Color: Black
Great boots! Now that I returned my usual size of 13 Extra Wide and got pair of 14 Extra Wide the boots feel great. (You can't do a direct exchange for a different size, but the return process went well and I was credited so I could buy a larger size.) At least in my size these seem to run small and
some other reviews say the same. Width was great, most comfortable work boots ever, can't feel the steel toe, but length was a little short and my toes were at the end in the 13. The 14 Extra Wide feels great, although there could be slightly less taper in the toe box. Even so, no rubbing or pressure on my toes. Most of the extra width is across the ball of the foot area. I compared these to other work boots and shoes I have, and yes these run small. In fact the 14 Fitville is the same length as my 13 Boiwanma work boot. The Fitville is wider though, and way more comfortable. Included insole was too thin for my liking and tended to bunch up when I put my foot into the boot so I replaced them with spenco total support. Much better. And my size 13 insole fits perfectly. So I recommend ordering at least a half size larger than usual. Other than that I can't say enough about these boots, I love them. Super light weight and comfortable padded collar. They don't squeeze my ankles and I have big ankles. As for durability time will tell. I humbly suggest that Fitville makes a more rugged version of these, with cladding on the toe like it has on the heel, metal eyelets for laces instead of the loops, and a more aggressive tread on the sole. The sole here is more like a tennis shoe but provides great cushion and decent grip. The main feature of these boots is comfort though. Fitville does make a more rugged looking waterproof boot, but I doubt they are as light and flexible as this mesh fabric upper. These boots look great too and could be used as casual footwear. They are suited for many different kinds of work, eg. warehouse, kitchen, construction, security, hotel or even in the office. Just get a pair because they look so good. I will update after a couple of weeks, but I'm really glad I've found these boots. I want to try their other shoes too. So hard to find shoes for big wide feet. Highly recommended.

Good boot for the price
Size: 15 X-Wide
Color: Black
Really good work boots. They are light and breathable and the wide boxed toe makes them comfortable for long work day wear if you are on your feet all day. They are not waterproof though so that's why there's only 4 stars.

Fits tightly
Size: 8.5 X-Wide
Color: Black
Kind of thight up front for being wide and 1/2 a size bigger than what I usually wear but they work. Very light for size and wished they fit better to say that they are confortable. They tore easy up top so I decided to keep them not return them.

Extra wide actually means extra wide for a change!
Size: 10 X-Wide
Color: Black
I have an absolute horrible time trying to find shoes that fit. I have very wide feet. This is the first pair of boots that I found in years that actually fit properly. I don't get the handful of complaints that they are not true to size. If you don't need wide or extra wide, don't buy them. Those of
us with duck feet are happy that they exist. They appear to be built well and have a decent arch support. Very light and comfortable. Can't beat the price either.

Good work shoe for the price for wide feet
Size: 10.5 Wide
Color: Black
So far so good seem to be holding up well and they fit very well haha 😂. My foot feel like it's got the whole ville to fit in, finally a shoe that can fit my orthopedic insert and not cost 350 bucks that breaks from mild heat and use. Size was accurate and the extra wide toe box is very rare with har
d toes of any kind. The toe cap actually doesn't pinch in and become small as heck. It fits around my 9E foot.
