Timberland PRO Men's Boondock 6 Inch Composite Safety Toe Waterproof Work Boots for Construction, Industrial & Outdoor Use - Durable Non-Slip Steel Toe Shoes for Heavy Duty Jobs

i just got them and started using them. the footbox was really important. i have narrow feets but i like to spread my toes out so i got the 9.5 wide. i use semi thick socks and its still a bit long. im going to assume the boot is true to size because my feet is 9.0 US and theres still a lot of room in front of it. go true to size and order wide. your toes will love it.as im walking around, my lower shin hits the top of the boot. that can be good or bad depending on how you see it. it lets me know that i can step in deep water but then just walking around will be annoying as it will hit it often.i wish they made these boots in all black and not have all that orange on there. my work wants all black so im hoping that i can get away with the amount of orange there is. in the pictures, all that orange you see is darker than what you see in real life. its a bit bright so maybe ill color it with a permenant marker.the toe cap is hella stiff and strong. I feel like i can hammer something with it or kick wood and not feel a thing. because these are new, the cushion is nice but i would recommend getting feet cushions that are more thicker, especially if you work in construction or work that requires safety boots. the reason being is that foam will naturally compress with time so you're going to need to change it out.another thing i wish which is possible because other boots can do the same is to have a side zip and being waterproof at the same time. im not a fan of tying my shoes because in my line of work, if there is an emergency, you have to rush to put on your boots and then run to it. if there was a side zip, it would be awesome. once you go side zip, you never want to use any other style of boots. trust me on that one.
