FSI FOOTWEAR SPECIALTIES INTERNATIONAL Women's Framer 6" Steel Waterproof Leather Slip Resistant Safety Toe Eh Hiker

This is my first pair of work boots besides those issued by the army (hugeeeee comfort comparison)As a petite female I just could not find steel toe/waterproof work boots at any store and I was really stressed out about ordering online.Let me tell you, I am sooooo glad I went with these!I work long shifts as an EMT and I’m going through the fire academy and these have been so comfortable from day ONE!The upper part is padded so it feels really comfortable although I would wear high socks just Incase it rubs against your skinI usually wear shoes between 7 and 7.5 but I figured boots like this are a little bigger than regular shoes so I went with size 7 regular and they fit just perfect, specially with thick socks.They look pretty cool and tough so I fit right in with the guys.I don’t like the shoe laces because I feel they come loose quite often but I can just change those out.I think the most important thing is how my feet function during and after wearing the shoes.They have gotten a little dirty because it’s winter season and there’s snow everywhere but I love that they got a pretty good grip to keep me from falling with my patients during transport.I’ll probably buy this pair again when the time comes.

I absolutely love, love these boots!! I have VERY difficult feet to fit as I have narrow heels and bunions (since birth) and they keep getting worse as the years march on. I work at a horse barn and needed steel-toed, waterproof, mud-proof, and comfort. These boots fit the bill! They are much better than I ever expected AND they were only around $57. AND I love the color and the pink trim (icing on the cake). They are actually waterproof, I've had others that claim to be but aren't. They dry out quickly and still look great. They are very lightweight but rugged. I would definitely buy these again if and when the current ones wear out. Doesn't look like that will happen any time soon, so I'm thinking I should probably get a second pair now while they still make them. If you are looking for durable, waterproof, steel-toe, comfort and even good looks then look no farther. These are what you want.ONLY 1 complaint/question: why are the boot laces so darn long? My winter work boots (LL Bean) are the same. Can't figure that one out.

I work in the aviation/aerospace industry as a Composite Technician. I work a 9/80 schedule, so I'm on my feet all day for usually 9-10 hours. I'm a size 6.5 wide, so I needed something light and comfortable with a steel toe.These boots hurt a little bit for a couple of days, but after that, they were pretty comfortable. They're stylish, too! I know it can be hard for us ladies to find nice steel toe shoes so here are some pros and cons of these:Pros:- Lightweight for a steel toe boot- Stylish with nice purple accents for a pop of femininity- Doesn't crunch my toes and feet; there's plenty of space for my feet but they're not too loose either (I ordered the 6.5 2E US)- Great price for a safety bootCons:- Shoe laces are longer than I liked even when all laced up- Can get a a little uncomfortable around the ankles without the right socks- Insole isn't very supportive, so I added in another one from the store that's MUCH better and cushions my feet- These can get a little hot, but not too terribleOverall, they're a great shoe and if I ever need another pair, these will be my go-to shoes!! Me likey!

Nice quality boots that fit as expected. Even though the padding on the insoles is nice, standing for 8 hours a day required additional comfort. I was able to add a second pair of insoles on top of the originals and this has made the boots even more comfortable. I bought the second set of insoles here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073V3119P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1Neither the original insoles nor the new insoles that I bought were able to provide enough comfort to last the eight hour day on their own. However, using both together have made standing for long periods of time much more bearable.I found using thin socks helps in allowing enough room inside the boot worked better for comfort than wearing thick socks. This is especially true since I added the second pair of insoles.The boots are not overly heavy either, which is another added plus.Overall, I believe the boots are a good value and I would definitely buy again.

I recently got a position in a horse barn and was required to purchase steel-toed boots. Out of all of the choices here on Amazon, I thought these were the cutest and hoped they would feel and fit well (as I heard they might be too small).I received them in a fast manner, and immediately loved them. They fit great, as expected, and look wonderful. They are comfortable and have a convenient waterproof lining (which is great for barn work). Although I havent been on my feet for hours in them yet, I've worn them around the house and am happy with how they feel and flex with my feet- I'm so happy with this purchase!

I needed steel toe or composite toe for work. I’ve never worn steel toes before but asked my coworkers who suggested to order a size up to prevent pinching. I happened to randomly find these online and the reviews seemed positive so took a chance on them. Extremely comfy insole, cushiony and surprisingly bouncy, really enjoy wearing them haha. I will say that I usually am a 7.5 but ordered a size 8. They still seem a bit too fitted when it was recommended I get a size that is roomy to avoid pinching with the steel toe so I am returning and waiting on a size 8.5.Also be aware that with steel toes you want a quality steeel, sometimes in emergency situations if something were to fall on your foot the steel can actually collapse and slice your toes off. As someone who is new to steel toes I am glad my coworkers shared this info with me. I am not sure the quality of the steel in these boots but I only need them for preventing stubbed toes from hammers and feel I am in no serious danger of an extremely heavy object falling on me.

I did a lot of research on boots before deciding on these. I really don't like buying footwear and my old pair was discontinued years ago. I narrowed it down to three different boots with pretty consistent reviews across multiple websites, and just as I decided on a different pair, these ones came on sale for a price I couldn't ignore. I don't regret it so far.The bad: If you regularly wear pointy shoes, these should fit ok. If you spend a lot of time barefoot or wearing Birkenstocks, you'll probably want to go with men's boots. I normally wear a ladies 6 but went with a 6.5w so I could have some space for my thick socks. These just barely fit across the ball of my foot in regular socks. Not the end of the world for me, but if you have wide feet these probably aren't a great choice.The good: They're very comfortable. There is well-placed padding in the ankle to provide support without strangling. The design of the pieces discourages the ankles from getting floppy too soon. The grommets and seams aren't in stupid places so they shouldn't rub or pinch. The toe box is high enough for a bit of wiggling and more importantly the edges don't rub the sides of the foot. The sole is nice and firm but still has decent shock absorption. There's even a little bit of arch support. The seal between sole and upper appears to be a reasonable quality and shouldn't let go or leak.Overall they seem good, especially if you get them on sale.
