Review: Nice Ems boot, well made and a good value **UPDATED*** ***2nd UPDATE*** - I am a paramedic and use this boot for work. I was skeptical at first due to the low price. Boots usually last me around 6-8 months, I am very hard on them. I will update this as I use them more but I will list my first impressions below. Pros: Very lightweight boot, I don't feel weighed down but it still seems to have plenty of traction. I have used it so far in muddy conditions, as well as climbing up hills and going through puddles. My feet are staying dry and the boot seems to clean up pretty easily. The zipper works nice and does not seem to get jammed up. The value is outstanding, it fits the same as my bates boots and feels like a 511 in terms of comfort. It is blood borne resistant. Cons: The leather feels thinner than other boots I have owned, not sure how this will play out in the long run. Overall: it is a nice boot for the money 49.99 on desertcart. It arrived very quickly took 3 days free shipping. I am satisfied with my purchase. I will update this review in about a month. 2 month update: I wear these at work I on average work 72-96 hours a week, these boots have been in rain, mud, oil spills, gas leaks, and house fires. They have held up very well, the only evidence of any damage is one scuff mark on the top of the boot. In wet conditions my feet have stayed dry and warm. They seem to grip the surface well. The best feature I have found so far is they are very lightweight, and after a day on my feet I don't feel like I am dragging them. I highly recommend this. 1 year 5 month update: I figured my boots were getting a little too scratched up, so I would order another pair. I cannot believe these boots have lasted over a year and 5 months. I still wear them everyday. The zipper and Velcro both are working fine. I have polished them a total of 5 times, they have been in rain, sleet, snow, mud, salt, oil, fuel spills, and any other disaster you can name. My feet stay dry in them, I have no complaints. These are a great boot, they are starting to show their age but just from being worn out, never thought I could say that about a boot. I will try to attach some pictures. I am buying new ones today, but will continue to use these around the farm. I will post another update when they finally break. I am also going to try to add some photos of the boots. The pictures of the boots are ones that are over a year and a half old (2nd pair purchased) I am still happy with them, they have lasted. I am not easy on my boots. I have not been compensated in any way shape or form.
Review: Very light and sturdy hiking boots - But extreemly easy for the elderly to put on and take off! - Well, this was a win! I am 60 years old and having some trouble with my feet and flexibility. Additionally, I lost my right hand when I was younger. Getting in and out of a pair of hiking boots can be a bit of a chore. It can also be a bit embarrassing to need other people to help me with something that is so simple for most. I like going for walks but have not found foot wear that fit my needs. I had a trip to Germany coming up and wanted a comfortable pair of "hiking" shoes or boots. I looked around desertcart and found these. I was a little suspect of how well the zipper would work. After reading the reviews, I bought them. They fit perfectly both size and width! Hard to believe you can do that on-line! The arch support is good. The loop on the top back of each shoe make them easy to pull on. The zipper is very sturdy and extremely easy to use! Even with thick socks it zipped up comfortably! There is a leather flap that covers the top of the zipper and is Velcroed down. I tightened up the laces, double knotted them and never worried about them again! Taking them off is also very easy. The zipper is on the inside panel of each boot making it easy to reach for me. Even someone with serious flexibility issues can use these comfortably. They are light! Surprisingly so. I read about that before I bought them, but I was still surprised. It made packing them for a long trip all the better. Light does not mean flimsy! They are very sturdy and I did not have trouble walking over heavy gravel, rocks or the many cobble stone streets of Europe! My feet are ultra sensitive with nerve problems as I age. Again, these were very comfortable. The heavy canvas side panels allow the shoes to breath well. I had no problem with hot feet. As I flew back I wore them on the flight. They are so easy to take off and put back on, it helped as I went through security. Otherwise, that can be a very awkward and embarrassing spot for me. I was able to remove then on the long flight over the ocean and but them back on easily from my tightly packed seat! For those of you with flexibility problems... you know what I mean! Yes, this was a win! Now, next time I go to Tokyo... where you have to take off your shoes and put them back on over and over throughout the day... I'm going to be ready! Thank you for developing this fine product! (I was surprised to learn after I received them that my son who was in the military has a zip up pair just like them!) Wayne

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5+ Years Reliable
*by D***8 on March 8, 2024*

I bought this same pair of boots 5 years ago and used them for camping, hiking, yard work, landscaping, garage work, metal work and moving. I used them only for my dirty and rough jobs to take the beating I didn’t want my nice shoes to take and they’ve held up all this time. They’re still usable, but I figured it’s probably time to retire the old ones so I bought the same pair again. They were water resistant, but if you’re kicking through a lot of dew-covered grass and they get soaked, the water will get through. So not waterproof. I only had a couple issues with them over the lifespan of my old ones. First, early on some stitching came out of the front rubber of the toe, but that never affected anything and the rubber never separated so not really an issue. Second, I had to replace the shoelaces a handful of times because they snapped a few times. Probably due to the nature of the work I did with them in dirt and mud and wet environments creating more friction and rust in the grommets over time. Not a big deal to me. Laces can be replaced and the shoes didn’t fall apart. Third, if I brought the zipper down to the bottom too hard, it used to get stuck there unless I pulled really hard. But they never broke even with the force I put into them so it worked for me. Finally, the velcro wore out after about 3.5 years but still sort of works currently. Upon buying the new pair, they feel very cushy and ergonomic in the soles and upper rim. The zipper works fine all the way to the bottom and the Velcro is new so it works fine of course. Overall I would recommend these shoes. They held up pretty well and are a fair price. I even got the black leather ones for other uses some years ago, but I don’t use those as often. They hold up just as well, they just get hot in the sun as black leather does.
