Review: Good boots - I wear these at work. I drive trucks for a living and they are sturdy and amazingly comfortable. They are like wearing heavy duty sneakers. The laces suck and I always replace them with longer and higher stronger ones. After lacing I like to go once around my calf before tying. Some people complain about the zipper breaking, I've never had that problem. This might be because of the way I tie my boots. I normally get two or three years out of them.
Review: On my second pair.. EXTREMELY satisfied - Update.... 14 months... that's a pretty good life for a pair of boots that get the snot beat out of them every day. The zipper finally went in them. First it started to tear where the zipper meets the boot at the top of the boot collar. This is probably my fault because of how tightly I wear them (note previous comment on ankle support.) The soles have held up amazingly! Yes... they've worn down considerably. But absolutely not something to complain about considering the abuse they take. The comfort level has never diminished. They're still as cushioned today as on day one. Will install better laces from the get go on this next pair. Walmart has good, flat boot laces for about $3 a pair that eliminate the strangled foot sense when you're first breaking them in. Wish they had a boot strap as well. There's an old school shoe repair guy in town... gonna take them to him right off the bat and have a boot strap sewed on. He charges $6 to do both boots. Very worthwhile investment. All in all... BUY THESE BOOTS! ------------------ I HAVE to wear high, form fitting work boots. I'm in and out of a big truck all day, and having broken both ankles at different point in my youth, the ankle support is very important for me. These boots fit me perfectly. I wear a 10 wide, and these boots are comfortably snug without having to lace them either too tightly or too loosely. I love zip on boots. Having lower back issues.. The less time I spend bent down lacing up boots, the better. These fit the bill perfectly. I was a little concerned about how small the teeth are on the zipper, but 2 weeks in they seem to be no issue. I've been buying Red Wing Worx boots for 20 years. At more than twice the cost of these boots. The last pair I bought I immediately noticed they had reduced the quality of the boot since my previous purchase of a pair (while raising the price nearly 10 percent from a year prior.) I sent them back and received a refund. Went shopping here for boots and found these. If these last a solid year, I'll become a repeat customer. Looking forward to having put #RedWingWorx in my rear view mirror permanently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ * good stuff *
*by A***N on May 21, 2016*

To start off I have crappy feet so finding any boot/shoe that fits well is a challenge. I work in a job were im standing 7-12 hours a day with light walking, after a week with just an added generic cushion insole my feet feel good. NOT Water Proof but in my use I dont want it, I would rather have high breath ability then a water proof/resistant exterior. These boots are good quality for the dollar and have good ankle and heal support. There is plenty of instep room ( I have a very high instep ) and the toe box is large enough for a thick sock fitment. If you have a very thin instep a very thick sock or a double or triple insole will be needed. Light is an understatement, about the same feel on my feet as a pair of running shoes. I dont foresee them lasting under hard heavy repetitive flex of the sole, such as crouching on the balls of your feet or a roofing job....I could be wrong, time will tell. For the cost they are well worth it. To Bates: The only improvement IMO would be a rubberized toe as these puppy's scuff up on the 1st bump, and loose the #2-3 plastic eyelets and use speed lace eyelets or lace hooks.
