CAT Steel Second Hand Work Boot Male Shift Dark Brown 11W US

Solidly constructed boot with an oil resistant, high traction sole. Much better than the schlock stocked at the local big box retailer. I don't work construction but instead use them around the house & yard when doing projects. More than adequate for that use and should last a good long time. The boots are not claimed to be waterproof and not insulated but used them this past weekend while shoveling the 6 inches of global warming off my driveway. No slipping and feet stayed dry and (relatively) warm. Leather uppers are soft to the touch and the stitching looks to be well done. Laces are sturdy and thick. If you are going to frequently expose these boots to water, would recommend an application of Neatsfoot (or Mink) oil to protect the leather and get maximum life out of the boots. Seem to run true to size - I have a 10.5 foot but got size 11 to allow for heavy socks. Fit fine with just the right amount of room in the toe box. Be forewarned - they are heavy. Very happy with the purchase and will buy again in the future when the need arises.

Its hard to find shoes that fit me well. The fit and wear on these were ok but they caused my toes numbness and pain. I wore out a pair and bought another thinking it was just the one pair. Nope. I am wearing another brand now and they are a little more comfy.

Break in time unreal. Comfy right off the bat.

This is the 2nd pair I've bought in 5 years. Love them. Great work boots.

These work boots are the only ones of their price point that I can wear, due to my foot problems. Combined with a plantar fasciitis insole, I don't have to break them in at all before extended wear. I have tried slightly more expensive boots and they hurt my feet. My only complaint about these boots is that I invariably wear them out after about ten months. I have had several pairs now and they always wear out about that time, so it's probably that I'm too rough on them. That is the only reason they get four stars instead of five. I highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't want to spend $250 on workboots just for the extra six months of wear.
