CATFootwear Men's Revolver Pull-on Soft Toe Work Boot

I was in need of some winter boots. We got hit with an anomalous snowfall and subzero conditions and I found myself trekking around in New Balance Cross Trainers which weren't cutting it. I originally started looking for insulated winter boots and realized that those would be wasted. We just don't get cold enough on the West coast to justify spending $100 plus on winter boots. Then i started looking at high top hikers and realized that I wasn't interested in those either. My search lead me to these CAT Revolvers.I've owned 2 previous pairs of CATS in my life, but never a pair like this. I loved the simplicity and versatility of owning a pair of leather boots which were ultimately the alternative to rubber gum boots.I'm a size 11 and these fit me perfectly right out of the gate. I wore cotton socks and had absolutely no issues breaking them in. I'd say within a day of use they were good to go. Prior to use I used a silicone boot spray and applied 1 layer. I made sure to thoroughly coat the entire boot with the spray and left them for 24 hours to cure.I've been wearing these almost daily in our slushy ice conditions. I've not been shy...i've purposely slugged through the slush and muck in an attempt to capture my youth. These boots still look fantastic and are getting a patina to them which I welcome. I wear tactical cargo pants made out of ripstop as my staple pants and these do not look out of place with them. I tuck the pant legs OVER the boot and they look like regular dockers to the untrained eye. Our streets freeze at around 1600 hours and i've managed to walk around our unplowed neighbourhood without falling. I feel confident in my footing and I really enjoy wearing these boots.Here's the catch. If you are the thermal underwear, wool sock, type of person...these may not be for you. I don't mind having my feet a bit chilly as these are not lined in any way like Winter boots. I don't feel uncomfortable....but they offer as much insulation from the cold as a pair of rubber boots. For my feet i've always been a size 11 in runners and I found that these fit me perfectly. I have slightly wide feet and I had no issues getting into these. I found that the right boot was a little bit stickier than the left, but thats probably got more to do with my biology than the boots. Over time the boots stretched a bit and allowed for seamless entry/exit.I had zero issues driving in these boots. My wife's vehicle is a 2012 Mazda 5 with an automatic transmission....I drive a 2016 Mazda 6 with a manual transmission. I had no issues in the Mazda 5. I also had no issues in my Mazda 6 operating the clutch and manipulating the pedals as I drove. This surprised and pleased me greatly.The build quality on these boots is awesome! I was torn between these CATS and a pair of Doc Martens with cordura uppers. I'm glad I went for the all leather cats....there's something about the leather that just feels better. I like the soles and grip, I like the design, and I even like the CAT logo on the pull tabs.At the time of this review I paid $70 USD for these boots. In my opinion, I would have paid $100 USD for this boot and been perfectly satisfied. These are a good deal and I'd definitely buy them again.UPDATE 2017-04-02I spent last month in Brampton, Ontario.....where it actually snows...and its actually cold. These boots were my staples and they performed flawlessly. I was even complimented on them by family who were surprised that a West Coaster had the foresight to bring boots. The love affair with these boots continues.

These are the only boots my husband loves to wear for work. Comfortable, durable and protective.

I bought this boot because I need something to replace my last pair of boots which where destroyed because of the how much I used them. I am currently in a construction business (building trusses) that demands me to be fast and agile (the reason I didn't go with steel-toe). It did not take long to break them in. These boots, overall are outstanding for my work and everything else that demands a tough work boot.The traction is very good and I can stand up on very step angles with them and not worry about slipping. The only problem is it collects mud and stones some times.The leather is good and must be treated to last. When they came they were a little pre-oiled, I found that pretty nice until I got some oil to put on them. I don't know if that was the same for every one else who bought them. With good oil the are almost semi-waterproof. What I mean by that is if your walking in the morning and its a wet morning they will keep your feet dry and warm depending on how long your out there (roughly 1-3 hours). A good tip is to put more oil on the toe area to repel the water.The sizing is off though, I would roughly guess about a 1/2, because I bought a 8.5 M and they turned out to be 9's because my pair of lace up Wolverines that were size 9 and the inserts fit perfect in the Cat boots. So I Just put size 9 inserts in them and they fit good. the interior lining on the heel wall has started to wear and break apart from constant rubbing, but I planning to cut it out when it gets to the point of falling out or when it gets uncomfortable.The price was dead on perfect for me. I would recommend these boots to anyone who is looking for a tough boot and want to keep the price under $110

A nicely made boot. But I find them very hard to get on. The distance from my heel to the front of my foot makes them tight to pull on. Once on they fit okay.

I am leaving my original review below.This morning I put on these boots and the heal support (whatever is against the back of my heal on the inside of the boot) broke down - when I pulled it out it looked like it was made of cardboard. Now the boot is unbearably uncomfortable.I really expected these to last a very long time and am now incredibly disappointed.So, I have seen this in other reviews and will re-enforce what others have said:I normally wear a 10. I ordered a 10.5 W.I also always wear Murino wool boot socks (winter and summer - try it and you will know why)When they arrived, I could barely get my foot it... I mean it really took a minute and quite a struggle to even get my foot into the boot. They squeezed on the sides, they squeezed on the top of my foot, I could barely wear them let along walk or work. I wore them for about 10 minutes before I had to take them off. I almost put them back in the box to send back.The next day, I wore them for a couple of hours before I had to take them off.The next few nights I would put them on after work and wear them until it was time to go to bed (flexing them while I was wearing them).About 3 days later, I put them on and my foot slipped right in. the boots had stretched enough so they were snug but comfortable.About 3 days after that, they had become my favorite boots. I can wear them all day, work, hiking, driving, they are just really comfortable.The tread is wide so I will pick up the occasional pebble but other than that, I have no complaints. Highly recommended.

My old 250$ boots only lasted 3 years.So I shopped around and found these.I’m on my feet all day I’m 5”9 205 lbs.These are great on my feet and after 12 hours of being on my feet they never hurt.Great product for its price.It’s a must .

awesome boots

Beautiful boot, but not wide enough through ankle to get foot in.
