These boots are amazing in every sense of the word. But before I get into way, let me preface this with a couple of things...1. I do not wear these for a living. I wear them because they offer great ankle support, are incredibly comfortable and look great with jeans, slacks and even shorts if that is your look.2. I am fortunate enough to have a Boot Barn close to me so I was able to go and try these on before buying them.3. I've only had them for a couple of days.These boots are an amazing buy for their price point. They are sturdy, high quality, comfortable and great looking shoes. They are lightweight for a work boot, they form to my fat foot like a glove, handle my weird foot/step rotation and stay secure on my foot without any movement. They are easy to get on and off and pretty much come broken in. There is nothing that I can find wrong with these boots.One thing I want to point out... I am a 12 wide. Often times that means that a 12 regular will fit me but will look like a ball trying to escape a thin sheet of wet paper because the laces will not close the shoe well enough. These are no exception. If you wear a wide shoe, buy the wide shoe. Also, these run about a half size large, so unless you plan to put insoles in these (which you don't really need to do) or you plan to wear thick wool socks (which you might need to do), buy a half size smaller than you normally wear.And if you are not used to wearing a boot over the ankle, you might want to give yourself a couple of days of wearing these around the house to get used to them. They are not like high tops... these are ankle boots and they feel like it. They are tight, secure and ungiving... all qualities you want in a quality boot. But they can take some getting used to if these aren't something you normally wear. If you do wear ankle boots normally, these shouldn't even be something you notice.Overall I would say if you are considering getting a composite safety boot, these should definitely be on your list of things to consider. They are well worth it in my opinion.
