20 Best Shoes For Metal Roof (2023 Updated)

I got my first pair Sept. 2010 while working in foundry. (XPX761). They are very very comfortable while on my feet for 12 hr days up to 60 & 70 hr’s a week. They withstood standing and walking in hot sand from large engine molds.

The metatarsals kept my feet from injury from heavy chunks of cores and protected sand and hot sand from falling on my shoe laces and burning me,or getting sand in my work boot. I’ve retired from the foundry and been wearing them for the last 5 years while driving a truck.

I use them every since 2010 to mow my yard and terraces the tread pattern design and depth allow great stability from slipping on my terraces while mowing. I also enjoy going for walks in them just before work and sometimes after work one mile or two, my feet feel great even at 250 pounds.

Believe me i’m 63 tears old and had all kinds of work boots with and without metatarsals these are all around safe and comfortable work boot. I’m getting to order my 4th pair. Even though the boot laces don’t last very long.

I don’t mind buying leather replacement boot laces. And i still give an overall rating of 5 stars.

2nd pair of these and would buy another. Feel secure in step/footing and comfort, even after a year of 11 hour days, sometimes 6 days a week and all on concrete floors. Very tough boot, with “hiking boot” looks (which I like).

Bought from Carindale, ordered them in, have been great after a year’s wearing. I work with heavy items often pushing off my feet, they grip insanely well even after wearing 6 days a week for a year.

Comfortable like runners. I don’t need the toe cap version so they feel light for what they are. They are wearing really well, I’ll buy another pair once they’re on sale. The N came off one side, no matter, they’re black, no one can tell.

I’ve convinced a couple of workmates to get them too. The fact they are all black helps to keep them clean (vs some white on other shoes), a bit of Mr Sheen and good to go! Shout out to the team at Westfield Carindale, always fantastic when I visit.

Oh and I sometimes walk 45mins after work, I don’t bother changing shoes, these do just great.

I have terrible feet. I am constantly battling plantar fasciitis, and trying new shoes and inserts to help. These shoes are not very supportive for my arch, and caused me more pain during my shift than with my older shoes.

The bottoms are also much more slippery than my previous non slip shoes. I find myself sliding and slipping where I wasn’t before. I wouldn’t recommend these if you are in the food and restaurant industry, and have high arches in your feet.

I’m sure these are great shoes for normal feet. I just wish I could return these, but I’ve already worn them for one shift.

Excellent boots. Lasted me a little over a year working in a very harsh work environment. Heavy iron castings and extreme temperatures from 160 and even up to (infrequently) 200 degrees down to -30 and I didn’t notice a thing.

Very comfortable. Will definitely buy again.

My husband loves these work boots, says they’re the best and most comfortable pair of work boots he’s worn in more than ten years!!

I ordered a 10 wide, and they fit just like the should. They are also very nice looking and very comfortable for a boot. Overall a great buy.

These Wolverines are a strong boot and seem to be made very well, and are very sturdy. However I do have some comfort issues when wearing them on a daily basis. I’ve used them for about two weeks, and they certainly feel “more-comfortable” as they continue to break-in.

however, they are not comfortable out-of-the-box, whatsoever. Not on my feet anyways. The main issue for me is that the boots are very loose-fitting for their listed size, even for a work boot (understanding that many boots are somewhat oversized to allow for work-appropriate socks and winter socks).

Adding aftermarket insoles helped tremendously, stacked in-addition to the existing insoles. The secondary concern I have is stiffer sections of the inner material rubbing against the top of my foot in two separate places.

I’m hoping continued usage/break-in alleviates that problem. My father had a pair of these exact boots just about a year ago, and had the same issues as I do – Very stiff at some internal points, and simply not very comfortable to begin.

I can’t recommend avoiding them nor favoring them, as the price is LOW enough that you will likely get the USAGE you need from them as they are sturdy and seem built-to-last, yet price is HIGH enough that I wonder why there isn’t more emphasis on COMFORT.

I probably wouldn’t repurchase.

I bought these to replace some older work boots I had, only wore these for about three weeks before I couldn’t any longer. They’re very durable and have held up to a great amount of abuse in the few weeks they were worn, however they were extremely uncomfortable on my feet.

The start of the steel toe rubs against the side and top of my foot, and they were very loose to fit. Many uncomfortable rubbing points, and something about them made my entire feet sore into my ankles.

These started destroying my feet within the first few hours of use, and although they felt better as they began to break-in, they still never softened enough to convince me to continue daily-use. I’ve been wearing various work boots with steel toe since before I was ten years-old.

I originally bought these because I remembered that my father also had a pair of these exact boots about two years ago, however I did not remember that he was not very impressed with the fit of the boots, at all.

They’ll surely be used again at some point, but I can’t use them on a daily basis or for extended periods of time. I work nearly 12 hour shifts in warehouse and these simply won’t work for that, not for me.

It’s a very well constructed boot, designed for work. The best features are that it is comfortable to wear after the break-in time period the soul is flexible and grippy. I believe it has a steel shank because I can feel the strength in the shoe and stability under load.

It also has a Goodyear welt construction and the leather has been waterproofed, all fantastic features. About the only complaint is the break-in because the phone seems to flex and feels lumpy. After you wear the shoe for a few miles the lumpiness goes away under the front portion of your foot.

To get a five-star rating they would need to improve the cushion to make it more of a memory type phone, like Skechers. Skechers, just so that you’re aware, does not build a true work boot so don’t waste your time as I did with them.

This is my first wolverine Boot and I really like it. Very nice fit, finish and durable construction. If it holds up over time I will probably become a wolverine customer. Thanks wolverine!.

I bought these just before Christmas because I do a lot of winter walking and hiking and I was annoyed with pulling crampons on and off my sneakers. So I have been wearing them for about a month and a half.

I wasn’t used to how stiff a boot like this would be, so it took 5-6 shorter walks to make them feel more comfortable. They bruised my upper outer ankle and rubbed the skin around my lower leg. Also, when I wasn’t wearing them I placed weights around the inside of the ankle to break in the upper part of the boot.

Now they are more broken in and less uncomfortable in that way, however I find them really narrow across the front foot. Sometimes the knuckles where my toes attach to my feet feel jammed together – I am a size 7 1/2 – 8 and I bought an 8 so I should have probably gone up a size.

I do have a narrow foot so maybe even 2 sizes. My hope was that these would keep me from slipping on ice. They help – the hobnails/spikes give more traction than a regular winter boot but I am still slipping on hard ice.

If I take my full stride and push off my toe, I slip because the spikes don’t come up that high, so I have to do more of a Frankenstein’s monster stomp to avoid slipping on ice. Same goes for striding with a heel strike – no spike far back enough to catch the ice.

I feel badly saying this, but my 30 dollar crampons are much better on ice. These boots are nice and warm and absolutely water proof, I can blast through slushy or watery bits of trail no problem and my toes are always toasty.

They are heavier than I personally prefer and again, personal preference, they are so stiff I can’t articulate through my foot and use my foot muscles. I might go back to runners and crampons. Lastly – and this might just be me – I wish they were all black like the men’s version.

I don’t like how they’ve been “ladied up” with some blue and grey. Tried initially to buy men’s instead but the sizing didn’t work out for me.

The Women’s Snowmageddon boot fit my needs perfectly. I typically wear a 6. 5/7 (women’s US) in shoes and boots, and the size 7’s in these fit and feel great! They are sturdy, a great height, and seem very durable after a few weeks of wear.

The soft “fur” upper lining is a functional (and stylish!) touch and has garnered several compliments, but the real treat is the BOA system. No more trying to tie laces tighter with freezing cold fingers! I just crank the knob and I’m good to go.

I’ve worn these boots for hiking and snowshoeing and am impressed by the warmth – my feet were perfectly dry and toasty after a 3 hour snowshoe trek through deep snow. Additionally, the boots aren’t too “clunky” or heavy, and work great for less extreme conditions such as trips to the grocery store etc.

when parking lots are full of snow and slush. The SnowTrac lug is great and I look forward to using the IceTrac lug the next time I have super icy conditions in my area. All of this is coupled with excellent customer service I received via email when I had questions.

Thanks, Korkers!.

These boots have so many great features. I love the lacing system–no wet/slimy/frozen/dirty laces to deal with–just a nifty dial to tighten accordingly. They pop off so easily when you are done wearing them.

They are really warm and comfortable. They come with two sets of treads–one with metal spikes for ice, and one w/out. When I got them I thought it was overkill. That is until last weekend, when Chicago’s sidewalks became sheets of black ice after a freezing drizzle.

I took a few steps in the regular soles and almost wiped out. Then I put on the ice cleats and was amazed at what a difference they made. I could walk with complete confidence. They totally transformed my walk and my day.

My dog is thankful, because he would have been stuck inside. These boots saved my behind, literally!.

Boots are generally a hit and miss so it is very difficult to get one right. I read the reviews on this boot and figured I would give it a try. Well – I have another pair coming now! These boots have quickly become my favorite boot and they are super comfortable to wear.

I could stand for several hours without any residual pain, while some of the other boots I own give me pain at night. Buy them – you will not regret it.

These arrived in time for another round of icy cold weather in my area. I was really excited about them arriving. The boots are very durable and attractive. They are replacing another pair of Sketchers that lasted about 14 years.

The only issue i have with them is that the top of the boot doesn’t seem to secure around my leg as nicely as my former pair. I am wondering if that is why they are calling these relaxed fit. for people with fat/big legs.

The uppers on my foot fit well and are comfortable. These are well made and i like them. I think they are very attractive.

I usually buy expensive walking boots. But these are a quarter of the price and actually better as far as comfort in my experience. The extra half size makes a big difference too. Clearly the build quality won’t be as good as dearer options.

But they’re are still made well.

This is and has been a very comfortable boot. I prefer quarter boots in the colder months over a taller boot. But like so many have said, on one boot after a year or less, the zipper failed. But not exactly the zipper.

The fabric between the leather and the zipper ripped. The boots weren’t exactly tight (although could have run wider). This was a couple years ago. I put some shoe goo and some other glue in the ripped part of the fabric.

I set them aside for a couple years until the other day. I dug the glue out from the zipper as well as I could. I was finally able to close the zipper, although it won’t go an further down than the zipper.

I can use them as is, and hope the rip doesn’t progress. The other complaint is the rubber sole on the sides separates from the leather to a degree. I thought about trying again, but now they don’t appear to be available in 12 W, and not sure I want to give a dollar vote for a bad zipper design.

That’s a shame, they really are comfortable.

Pretty comfortable boots. I purchased these because I needed slip resistant boots for work and these are supposed to be slip resistant. They’re not. They have zero business being on a wet floor. They’re more like ice skates when the soles come in contact with water.

I suppose they’re good boots if you don’t need slip resistant as I am required to have at work. The box specifically says slip resistant. I fell for it. Don’t be fooled. Well played tractor supply. Well played!.

These boots are premium quality! It’s hard to believe well-made, high quality work boots exist for such an incredibly low price! This is my second pair of Ridgecut work boots. The first pair was purchased because the store didn’t have the usual Carhartt boots in my size and I needed a new pair of work boots that same day.

Now, they are my go-to boots because they are an incredible product AND an incredible value.

NOT WATERPROOF !! 4WEEKS OLD AND CANT WALK ON GRASS IN MORNING CAUSE SOCKS GET WET FROM DEW ON GRASS. most uncomfortable boots i ever had. going in trash soon as i get a decent pair. guess you get what you pay for.

All i can say is dont waste your money on these. Took dog outside at 7am. guess i will be working in wet shoes today had to change my socks from dew on grass,yes they are waterproof as long as you dont get near anything wet or damp.

I will never buy another ridgecut product.

Boots are comfortable but feel big. I normally wear size 10 and have for the past 20 years. I think they run a little big. Other than that they feel like my chuck Taylor’s I wear on the court.

I like the style and durability of the defender 6 inch also the type sole doesn’t track in dirt as the other type soles. I have worn the Iron age shoes before retirement and was glad to find them again.

Ended up ordering 2 pairs. Thanks Shoebacca. Wayne.

This gets a 3 star because I was very uncomfortable with the tongue of the shoe once I laced them up. I wore them for about 3 hours with one break before enough was enough..

I bought these boots for work. I am a dishwasher and my shoes are constantly covered in water. They help my feet stay dry and are incredibly comfortable. They are also non-slip which makes them that much better because I needed to make sure they were non-slip for working in a restaurant.

Overall they feet my feet well and are doing what they are supposed to do. I love these boots!.

I took these out of the shipping box and wore them all day. Didn’t even think to look for an orthotic insert that would fit in them! Comfy. And I’m still recovering from foot surgery from 3 months ago.

Newly back in shoes, these have enough room in the toe.

These boots are great for our crew. They love the design and color and the price point is just right for the farm. We love them.

Very comfy and stable work shoe. I work 12 hr shifts and these shoes feel great. Bought a pr of 115 dollar reeboks that weren’t even close to these in comfort and stability. These soldiers are worth every penny and I plan on getting the scouts to try out for a pair to just wear around they feel that good on the feet.

I paid for rush shipping and ordered on a Saturday and received on a Tuesday. Verry satisfied with this shoe purchase.

I bought these shoes cause I wanted shoes instead of boots. Cause I can wear shorts to work. Plus I got the blue colored cameo ones cause they match the colors of my work. Fixing to buy a pair of defenders for the wife.

This looked like a great shoe that would last a while when I got them. but when I put them on they were definitely not wide! The box and the shoe said wide but they were narrow/standard fit. If you need a wide shoe, this one is not the one you want.

My feet hurt a few hours after just putting them on and walking to 30 seconds in my kitchen.

Best work shoe I ever purchased. Great support insert and combined with a steel toe and the toe overlay to slow down wear, I am golden. Looks like a high dollar tennis shoe to boot!

I’ve always loved my Georgia Boots when working in industrial jobs!!! I recently started working for Discount Tire and went through 2 pair of shoes quickly so I got on Georgia Boots website and saw this shoe and I’ve been very Happy with them will buy a new pair when these wear out!!.

I work in the freezer department of a warehouse and am actively on my feet anywhere from 10-13 hours. As for the slip resistance and comfortability they are exceptional, but the major fault is in the stitching around the toe.

After just a few weeks the stitching starts to go bad and after a few months the heal starts to separate from the rubber. I’ve had to use shoe goo just to get the boots to last past 6 months. Overall I love how these boots wear but wish the stitching was better quality.

These all leather insulated work boots are great if you work outside in very cold weather. I drive an open Tug at night outside at the airport for about 4 hrs during the week. I needed a winter work boot that would keep my feet warm in -15 degree wind-chill, while still providing good protection for my feet.

I actually did a lot of online research about work boots and what to look for in them. After searching around, this boots were the only one’s that fit all my needs, while being at an affordable price.

The boots were packaged very well and I received them in 3 days. I have the black pair which looks really great. These boots are well made and very rugged. They weigh just over 4 lbs together, but you don’t feel the weight while wearing them.

The entire outside of the boot is leather and water proof. The inside material is firm and padded very well. They are very warm in 15 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 5 metal speed laces that work great.

The laces are of a heavy duty quality and are not to long. With 1000g of Thinsulate Ultra Insulation, these boots are very warm at -10 degrees Fahrenheit, while only wearing thick wool work socks. One very important note: your feet will sweat in these boots, if you wear them with thick wool socks.

(I use foot powder to prevent my feet from sweating) These boots are very comfortable thanks to the VitaComfort system. My feet have stayed dry in snow. It has a composite toe with a rubber toe guard and a bottom puncture resistant plate.

I thought the 8″ height would be a problem, but it’s not. I went one size up, to account for my work socks thickness and if I had to double up on my socks, I’d still have enough room. So, if your looking for a warm, safe, waterproof, comfortable and good looking work boot.

Look no further.

They are warm boots but the pair I got one boot is slightly defective. The right boot has a stitching imperfection on the inside of the tongue causing a rough edge. Very uncomfortable to wear. Left foot feels great but right foot hurts like hell after an hour of wearing boots.

Its constantly digging into my shin. I probably just got a bad batch. I will be contacting customer support for a refund.

This is the best pair boots i have ever wore. Make sure to coat with mink oil before using. That way if you work in mud, you can just hose them off. Let dry and re-apply. They will last several years in rough environment.

Longer in regular use that’s not in a constant wet environment. They are waterproof but any boot in a constant wet environment doesn’t last as long. Good job Michelin.

This is my fourth Michelin set of boots and my second pair of this specific model. My previous pair I’m finishing off until January 1st which will make a full two years in one set of boots at work. I average 45 hours a week in work boots in a factory setting.

I’ve been working in factories as a maintenance technician for 13 years almost and this is by far the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve worn. Also the fact they lasted 2 years speaks for itself. They have good arch support.

Soft soles and good traction on oily floors.

My first pair of 982 mason boots since early 2000’s. I tried to re-order back then a couple times and they were out of stock both times. I gave up until now April 2022. They are still great boots that fit really well.

The shoe strings are the same flat brown that they used to be but thinner and cheaper than they used to be. I can replace these 54 inch shoe strings when needed, no biggie! Great boots.

! am 72, started wearing the 6 in boot in high school because of weak angles. These give me support, I usually a few pairs at a time. wear one to work, and one to dress up. when work pair wear out, then I wear the dress up pair to work and put on a new pair for dress.

got out of school 35 years ago and probably have bought 70 pair so far. I still have 3 pairs in the closet and probably will have to order in a year or so. I might not live long enough to wear out them as I have slowed down a lot.

But if I need to I will order again. My son has the same shoe size so they will fit him also.

I bought these work boots as the closest replacement I could find for a discontinued line of Redwing work shoes (which I’ve worn for decades). I was told upfront that I would have to wait almost 3 months for these to be shipped, and I did because all shoes I’ve bought from BA Mason in the past have been satisfactory.

These won’t be. They are made of lightweight materials which won’t last long in my work outside at my acreage and in my woods. In addition, they are too narrow for my feet even though they are supposedly a wide (E) width.

I will “break them in” (I hope) and wear them until they fall apart, which undoubtedly won’t be long. I rarely write negative reviews for anything, preferring to say nothing if I can’t say something good.

These shoes, however, deserve a poor review.

Unfortunately I don’t have a video to share. I bought these shoes for my husband because he is a machinist. He needs a good steel toed shoe but in Kansas it gets so hot during the summer and these bulky 10 lb boots that they sell here are so uncomfortable after a few weeks even! They don’t breathe and they are like wearing a pair of ankle boots while you’re already on your feet for 12 hours a day.

Ever since I bought him these indestructible shoes after doing some research online it has everything he needs to work in a machine shop oh, they have the skid proof puncture-resistant steel-toed blah blah blah but also they breathe! His shoes actually breathe so during the summer he’s not going to sweat through the socks into the shoes and making them disgusting.

His feet stay relatively cool and he’s coming home at the end of the day saying his feet don’t hurt as much. They’re always going to hurt because he’s always on his feet but the shoes have made a definite Improvement.

My husband is coming home in a better mood! And shipping was also extremely fast I was expecting them to take weeks because of covid relief here less than a week after I was informed of shipping. I got on to check the update and discovered that they had been delivered!.

I have this Ares and two pairs of the J3 style shoes. I find I like the styling of the J3 pairs better. The soles of the shoe appear different when compared to J3 style but I can really tell if there is a difference in comfort.

The shoe is flexible and breathable. They are comfortable to walk in for extended periods of time and I feel secure that my toes are protected since the shoes is reinforced but so is the J3 style which I like the looks of better.

It makes it hard for me to find use for the Ares over the J3 style because they seem to have the same strengths in my opinion and experience as well as the same weakness. I need a pair of Indestructible shoes suitable for hiking as I don’t think the Ares or the J3 styles are it.

The fabric like materials will make them difficult to clean and they may get really unsightly if I take them on the nature trails. I still love the Ares since as I’ve mentioned, they have all what I like about the J3 style but without the looks.

I will have to find a specific use case for it, perhaps only use it for work or something.

I night these shoes on the 7th of Aug and got them on the 14th of Aug. I randomly found these shoes online when talking to an associate at work. At fist glance I really liked the look of these and thought that they probably wouldn’t be that good.

As the night went on I kept thinking about them. So for $80 bucks I said what the heck. Let’s try them. I work at Amazon and I walk 13-15 miles a night. I have two other pair of composite toe boots. The first pair give me blisters but are very comfy.

The second pair just hurt my feet to wear it hurts to stand after my shift. I wore my boots for the first time last night and they were incredible. I did put in a anti-fatigue insole in them. But my feet didn’t hurt when I got off work nor did they ache the next morning.

The shoe runs pretty big. I wear a 10. 5 and I felt like I could have gotten a 10, so maybe my next pair I’ll try a 10. The only thing I would change is the sock lining, I would make it tighter so you have more ankle support but if you use all the lace holes it makes it feel more support.

All in all. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Alles Top

I’m retired after working in the oilfield for 30 + years. I ran casing; running hydraulic tongs, latching unlatching pipe using various sizes of elevators from the v-door, go up in the Derrick to stab pipe, etc.

It required hard work, regardless if it’s raining, snowing, old weather hot weather. Walking in mud while rolling pipe. These are just a few examples of the type of work conditions you deal with. As a Safety man we required everyone to wear steel toed boots.

They are expensive usually Red Wings. They are not comfortable to wear at all. When I received your boots I got them because I have two acres with 30 + trees and a little ravine passing through it and needed a good pair of boots.

When I received them my first thought was these boots are so light, then I put them on. Let me tell you guys they are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn. I wear them everyday and to think they are steel toed, water repellent and safe.

They feel like my favorite shoes Doc Markens. Now I wished that my guys I worked with knew about these. I. m passing this info on to my buddies that are still working in the oilfield and everyone else I know.

These are the best boots a man (or woman) should wear. I’m glad I I bought these, Thank you, Rick Jarvis.

Honestly, I didn’t expect anything Great from some random online company. I ordered a pair of these as I NEED them and all their features for a demanding job. I work with dogs and I’m Constantly moving (and I occasionally get peed on).

They’re surprisingly light weight. You gotta hold em in your hand to Truly experience the weightlessness. They don’t slip on fluids! They’re decently comfortable. The PEE rolls right off! How wonderful is that?! They also do well when working in the garden! And did I say?.

Totally light weight! I’m Slightly concerned about the seems along the sole and the leather. But it’s expected with how much I put them through. I was So surprised when I first held them that I immediately ordered another pair, as I go through boots quickly (3 per year).

It’s been about six months and I’m HONESTLY not sure when (if ever) I’ll need to bust out the second pair. They’re also stylish. Mud and stuff wipes Right off and leaves no stain. I Really am surprised.

I’ve been looking for boots like these FOR SO FREAKING LONG it’s not even funny. THANK YOU GUYS. no Wonder you’re no longer a “random” online company. Now I gotta grab a pair of gym shoes and I’m all set.

Thanks!.

I bought these because I’m doing construction work at my new cabin and my old boots had worn out. I must admit, I haven’t had a chance to use them in a construction aspect yet, but I have worn them around for a few days and worked around the yard in them.

They are light and quite comfortable. The look like a boot, but feel like a shoe. The insole has little to no arch support, so I added that and still had room for my foot. My foot is wide at the front and I thought that might be a problem, but it isn’t.

I won’t say I have any extra room up there, but I have enough room. Assuming these hold up this summer and give me the protection I need for my feet, I would give these 5 stars. Oh and the other thing that is nice is that as a 5′ 4″ woman with smallish feet (size 7), it can be hard to find work boots.

I really appreciate the European sizing and the fact that you had boots that fit me.

The Norris Sneakers are by far my all time favorites to wear. Great quality and comfort all around. Top item I like about them is the style. They look great and can work just about any occasion. Running errands, date night, work, and I was even able to get away with wearing them for a business professional event.

When they noticed I was wearing sneakers I got a lot of compliments on them. Next item would be fit and comfort. I wear a size 11(R) for all my other shoes and these are true to size. That ortholite insole offers good comfort and the puncture resistant inlay offers great protection for anything sharp and pointy I may step on during the day.

I can wear these all day. Last item would be the outer sole. Very thick but also very flat and because of that it doesn’t offer a ton of grip on smooth/flat surfaces. But I myself and others have used this on fire and maneuver ranges and they perform great.

All in all if you get caught in an SHTF situation and you’re wearing these, your feet will be well protected.

Broke my ankle 6 month ago and tennis shoes were not doing the job. These have a good ankle support and are super comfortable on both my good foot and the one that broke. Have a good amount of padding over a similar brand, without being super thick and hot.

Pre brake I wore a 11 tennis shoe, and a 10. 5 boot. I now wear a 11 boot and the 11 in these are a really good fit, guessing I might be 11. 5 in tennis shoes. There is plenty of room in the toe box, I have wide feet and a good bit of room.

The bad: The is soles are flat absolutely not raises or shape to them at all. But a set of insoles ( I use powerstep insoles) and they are my best shoe. Bought them on sale and don’t regret it a bit.

I am ordering a new pair of the color I want and don’t mind paying full price at all. I leave them untied for lounging and tie them up to operate ( what little I can do with my leg healing). Highly recommended.

Love these things.

Sock killers Lacks comfort (tongue needs more padding. Tight at ankle would cause discomfort if tucking in laces) (fake comfort soles & insoles = too stiff boardmax, not enough cushion = extra firm insoles paired with cupped-traction soles.

The cuppedness of soles is the initial comfort) getting rid of puncture resistant sole is highly recommended (this causes majority of problems = 200lbs resistance is not worth sacrificed comfort) BUT No tactical feel (laces are elastic, feel like shoes would fall off) (can’t lock in foot for truly tactical feel) Needs to be more durable.

(Leather body) (helcor toe cap) (nubuck if trying to keep lower profile) (nylon sides needs to be RIGHT @ arch. Wider to establish tactile feel, locking in foot = easier to lock foot) Traction is iffy (non slip on flat ground ONLY.

On trails flat soles standing on center is completely useless) Range master shoes are completely better all around (LOW PROFILE look. great traction, bends at toe, LOW MAINTENANCE. Comfortable) shouldn’t been discontinued.

511 is trying too hard. Keep things plain and simple.

The boots are well built and I hope they last a long time. The leather is thick and the brass fittings are sturdy. They are a bit tight across the top of the bridge of the foot, but that should ease up with time.

I am disappointed that the color does not match the site. Rather than being a rich brown, mine border more along a caramel. The customer service was fantastic with responses from reps within an hour.

Holy Bonanza! Where has this brand been all my life?! Well made, comfy straight out of the box, great looking! I sized down two sizes to covert to woman’s size 7 and it is a perfect fit. Looks and feels like a shoe twice the price.

Saaaweet!.

After wearing them daily for about 4 months straight and them getting thoroughly soaked a coup of times the leather and the boots have held up well for the price. The soles have worn a little sooner than I was expecting.

Also l, I usually like the 8” boots and steel toe now is what I have for work and there’s will remain as backups. They may have been advertised as 8” tall but they are more like a standard 6” to me by the way.
