These are hands down the best lifestyle boots out there for those who farm, build, outdoor chores, outdoor working type boots. I've had many pairs of the Blundstone's basic boot, and now trying the steal toe. It is barely noticeable inside and out, if at all. These boots are not for hiking or logging, but rather a lighter weight work boot. There's a slight amount of wiggle room that I think is perfect for breathability and comfort. Somehow Blundstone boots are a bit roomy but do not slip up and down when walking. I find this an incredible feature as I'm on my feet all day as a carpenter/builder. They offer a little security around the ankle, but definitely allow the ankle to move freely for balance and agility, climbing around on roofs, beams, whatever. If you have issues with sweaty feet at work, these boots will help unless yours fit tightly. I'm very hard on footwear, and get about a year and a half from a pair of Blundstones, only because the sole eventually wears off leaving no traction. The boot itself has never fallen apart. As with any steal toe boot, there's a weakness on the leather over the steal toe because there's no give. The toe cannot handle getting scuffed as much as the non steal toe version due to its give, but safety has its compromises. I think the cost of these boots are very fair given that there's fancy hiking footwear out there for the same cost that craps out in half the time. Been there done that. It's a lifestyle boot, you either love them because they fit your lifestyle or you just don't need them anyway. My only complaint is that I would prefer better arch support, but inserts fit no problem. Keep these boots waxed and they can handle damp conditions, morning dew and the like. I also like how Blundstone keeps focused on their boots, while other companies like Timberland and such went too big and the vast array of choices render most of them junk. It's a company I can feel good about supporting as a consumer.
