This boot has high reviews from others, but having had these boots for 3 months they are not performing as I hoped. I bought these to replace my Bates - and these are definitely not a equal trade for Bates. 1. The thick rubber sole is heavy. I thought it would provide more cushion, but all it does is add weight to the boot. 2. I usually wear a 10D, I bought a 9.5D wanting some room in the toes. The toe box is fine, but the fit around the heal is loose. My heal slides (despite how much I tighten the boots) and my socks are getting worn out in the heal. 3. The construction of the boots digs into my outer ankle bone.
I live overseas and unfortunately got these in the mail the day before I left to return over seas, and thought they would be OK. If I could have I would have returned them for my money back. Pricey purchase that is spending more time taking up room on my shelf.

Customer Boot Reviews
Best boot I have ever worn. I wear these boots on the farm year around. Have very little trouble in cold weather. Would recommend waterproofing them or buy a waterproof boot.
This is an AMAZING boot. Excellent quality and perfect for warmer and hot weather. Will keep your feet cool and comfortable on hot days. Very comfortable so you can be on your feet all day. Highly recommend this boot.
These boots are military boots and darn good for what they do. Mini-Mil for comfort.
Great boots! Have worn mine for a year with no complaints at all. Comfortable for long periods of time and are high quality.
seems like a nice boot, wish i had known they were steel toe. i would have rather gotten a different pair had i known. for the price i paid ill go ahead and keep them
I'm a heavy truck mechanic I wish I could get the toe repaired but I am on 2 years everyday use and they feel like new. Better get yourself a pair you will not be disappointed.
Amazing boots! These things wear like steel and are so comfortable. I have owned them for 13 years and they are still going strong. Sizing can be a little strange because this boot is massive. My running shoes are 9.5D, 9D in dress shoes and I wear these very comfortable in a 8.5D. Keep up the great work and never ever change this boot!
My first pair of boots and they deserve a rating of 10 out of 10.
great boot for hot environments
