Timberland PRO Men's Titan 8-Inch Alloy Safety Toe Waterproof Work Boots - Heavy Duty Industrial & Construction Shoes for Outdoor Work & Harsh Conditions

Compared to all other 8" safety toe boots I've tried, this is by far the best boot I found. No break-in required: I wore them a full day walking around on concrete with no issues at all. My feet felt better at the end of the day than with any other boot I've tried. I have flat feet and need lots of arch support. The Titan provides more than any other boot. I still have to add my Dr. S #440, which makes a great fitting boot fit my foot even better. Speed laces are very important for me to get the boot tight enough on both the lower and upper. If the less expensive Direct Attach had speed laces it would have been my boot of choice (equally comfortable sole). I think a major factor in the better fit was getting a medium width instead of W-Mart's typical wide sizes. I drove around to all the shoe stores and sporting goods stores in a 25 mile radius trying to find the right fit. The few Timberland Pro's I found (only one Titan, but it was 6" and a half size too small) kept telling me that if I found the right fit, Timberland had the most comfortable sole and the 8" Titan would provide the best upper. I was not disappointed. I have no doubt I will strongly consider another pair when these wear out, maybe even sooner (just in case some bright corporate person decides Titan 8" Safety Toe should be discontinued).
