are these shoes breathable? I work 10 hours a day with safety shoes and in the evening my feet are boiled.

Yes, and no. I think safety shoes are always going to be warmer to wear than normal footwear, but these are honestly the lightest and most breathable ones I've ever had. They don't feel at all heavy and 'clumpy' even after my 12 hour shifts. I can't recommend them highly enough and wish I'd discovered them years ago. Amazing value, too

Whats the weight of pair?

If you get compeset which is hard plastic they are very lightweight..

Does composite toe cap mean a plastic toe cap?

Yes, it is a plastic toe cap mixed to form a super strong protection toe cap. Feel free to ask anything else. Kindest Regards Black Hammer Customer Care Team

I am a womens size 6 but have normal size feet. Do you reckon i should go for a size 5 or 6? I bought a size 6 on amazon before and got sent a size 7.

Hello Please go one below your usual size and I am so sorry to hear of previous experience of ordering from Amazon. I am sure they will get it right this time All the best Black Hammer Customer Care Team
