Great set of work boots.
I. I purchased these boots in 2021 they worked and still work great. The sole is just starting to see use.2. They shine up well, I'm a 30 year police officer that depends on these boots.3. They are water proof (BUT) to a point, if your standing in a puddle of water it's eventually making it's way in.4. I just purchased a new pair it was delivered today they will be cleaned and polished up. My old pair I'm trying to see if the sole can be redone by the local shoe repairman. Just curious has anyone else tried this and how much.5. After awhile change the sole to Dr scholes

Great boots
I have worn a lot of different boots durning my 24 year career as a firefighter, these are the best boots I have had. They had held up, actually breathable durning the hot Texas summers. These will be the only ones I wear the remaining of my career.

Not a 5 star item
I've worn these for over a month now. I ordered 11.5 wide. Way too tight. Never really broke in. Seriously uncomfortable. My feet are sore after a couple hours any day I wear them. I wouldn't pay 40 bucks for these, let alone the 170 i actually paid. DO NOT BUY THESE

Comfortable right out of the box.
The day they arrived I was getting ready for work so I decided to put them on and go to work. I work a 12 hr shift and walk a lot. They were not only comfortable, but they did not pinch or make my feet sore like a new pair of boots would do. When I got home after my shift my feet actually felt comfortable. Trust me when I say they are worth the cost.

It's Okay for the Price
I am a parcel delivery driver, so I am working in all conditions, and boots are important to me. A good pair of boots is like a good set of tools; they'll last a very long time if you do the work to take care of them. That said, I don't think these boots will last more than 2 or 3 years at best, but I would like to be proven wrong.First, the pros:The stitching and construction is very sturdy. I have no doubt the construction will hold up with little to no need for repairs on that end. The boots are lightweight, break in easily, and the waterproofing is better than many boots I've ran. The sole also feels very sturdy and has great tread, and I suspect it will last quite some time, even with a job like mine that requires many miles of walking, daily. If the upper survives long enough, I'm sure I will have them resoled by Thorogood, as this is a quality sole.Now, the cons:The shape is weird. They run true to size, but are wide around the calf and are tall in the foot area. To get the boot to fit better, I had to use a very thick insole to eat up vertical space in the boot, and I used longer laces, which I wrapped around the calf to tighten it there. The length and width are fine around the foot, but the vertical space is weird and I can't imagine needing the zipper on the boot except to rapidly put them on if you're an emergency responder that leaves them tied. My other big complaint is that they seem to be made of cheaper materials. I am fairly certain that these are using bicast leather, and the coating just can't stand up to the same standards of a full-grain leather boot. What would be a simple scuff on quality work boots creates tiny micro-tears on the outer layer of these boots, which will grow in time, even with a regimented routine of swapping boots daily, brushing after every wear, using cedar shoe trees, and cleaning/treating monthly. The interior lining is also pilling after only a few months of usage, so I worry about how long that will last as well.The verdict:These boots are very well crafted, but even the best craftmanship can only do so much with low-quality materials. All that said, the boots are less than $180, and you get what you pay for. If you're on a tight budget and need something to get by, these will do for light-duty work, but if you're looking for something to last a decade or more, I'd look elsewhere.

Comfortable!!!!!
I work in law enforcement so I am always looking for comfortable boots to wear since I am on my feet most of the day. These boots are very comfortable. I will definitely purchase them again in the future if they are still available.
