The quality of the leather and fabrication is excellent. Unfortunately the toe cap built into the layers curls down and hits my big toes in a very painful way. I tried to work thru it but I’ve gotten to the point of not being able to wear them. I’ve broken in many pairs of boots over the years but this doesn’t seem to be a battle I’m going to win. They look great but they’re torture devices. If you try these don’t make the mistake I made… try them the first few days and send them back if they’re not comfortable. Life’s too short to wear torture boots that cost 300

I'm a Trucker that runs Compost and Black mulch and Chips Sometimes you can trash a pair of boots in 3 months if your going to the place that mixes dead cow with the compost, or mulch that stinks up and dyes your boots with dye. Or in the rainy season when your in 6 inches of rotting garbage . Walmart boots are good for that cause they suck and are cheap. But they hurt your feet. and they fall apart and start to smell even a week after you bought them cause they are made in China.. ( of pleather "fake leather" ) I bought these "American " made boots cause I was drunk and felt like spending money to an American company. But I am not giving this review because they held up great at work.......YES... I'm being a wimp. I don't want to wear the best boots I've ever owned to my disgusting job and ruin them. So I've been using them as my every day go to sneaker. It took about 2 days to break them in to my feet and the size 13 wide toe box fit my big dumb feet like a glove. And I like the fact that they don't have cheap padded insolation that just wears down and rips after 3 months. these are strait thick leather. that's it. if I want more warmth, I'll use two pair of socks. But I don't need that even though there is enough room with the wide toe box. Eventually when these get old and I maybe own a few more pair that I can keep nice , ( So I don't look like a total dirtbag when I'm out with the wife) I'll move these over into the category of my real work boots.…

This is a great everyday casual work boot. The boot is straight-up leather through and through. For expectation management do not expect cushioning to be built into the boot for extra comfort. The leather is comfortable and is a feel I prefer when wearing a boot. I live in Colorado and prefer boots for the cold winter. These fit true to size when using the Origin boot sizing guide. I wear an 11.5 in shoes, but in these boots, I'm a 10.5. They fit snug with no wiggle room. They don't have too long of a break-in period, but they are pretty stiff right out of the box. I was only surprised by how thin the boot strings are. I feel like they will be compromised quickly because of how thin they are but that's just speculation. I prefer a more heavy-duty string since they are tightened up every use. Quick shipping since the order was placed over the black Friday sale period.
