My husband broke his ankle about 8 years ago and ever since, it's like cotton. It's super sensitive and bothers him some. So finding a good boot is imperative for him. He heard of this particular boot from a work buddy and decided to give it a try. My husband loves it. It gives great ankle and foot support. He wears them to work a lot. Not so much in the mud but in other weather they are glued to his feet.

ATTENTION to buyers: when you click on these ORIGINAL work boots make SURE that your cart does not show you are selecting the STEEL TOE.
This happened to me. I went back in and tried the process again and the same thing happened. Selected ORIGINAL ... and STEEL TOE pops up in my cart. so thats what we got and sent back with a notice of the page content error. Amazons link must have been, or still be, connected to the wrong product. after I notified them I got a response so I hope this has been fixed. I ended up abandoning my attempt to buy the Original Boots on Amazon that day tho, and found the same ones on workbooks.com. My husband likes these clunky boots and says they are comfortable. He wears a 14 so we will have to add on to our mud room. This is his second pair. Sometimes I almost can't open the back door if they are parked just inside! He literally walked out of the first pair he wore them so much. There is an insole which is quite nice and gives cushion.Choosing comfort over style, the green ones will do him just fine for a couple of more years of every day outdoor work. He wouldn't be able to get a pair of spurs around the heel. Like I said they are clunky. Each to his own!

A great boot for the price. Do check Academy and other's as they usually have them on sale. I saw these exact boots the day I received them on sale at Academy for $99. But I will quickly say that they are well worth $150.

These aren't quite what I was hoping they'd be. One of them looks OK, but the other one has a weird patch of discolored leather that's all frayed looking.

Definitely safety toe, and the boot is labeled steel toe, so I have no reason to doubt it. Pretty comfortable for steel toe, I didn't feel it at all after wearing them all day.

These are pretty much the look I was going for, kind of a dressy work boot, but the quality seems to leave a bit to be desired. Time will tell, I'll update if anything changes.

Update: October 2017
I've had them for five months now, and I've enjoyed owning them. I mostly walk around our facilities, coated concrete floors, etc. The boots are worn every day, but they don't get much abuse.

Last week the frayed section of leather (that I noticed upon receiving the boots) lost its metal shoelace grommet, so now I'm pulling on the leather, and it's probably a matter of time before the boot is useless. This confirms my suspicion that the particular section of leather was bad news from the beginning. I've attached a photo of the boot brand new and also one from today.

They seem like good boots, I probably just got some bad leather.

Fit a little big. He could have used a 9. He has a pair of store bought justins that are 9.5 that fit perfect. Not sure why they differ. These are also heavier than the other pair, but I'm sure that's due to the steal toe. A few scuffs came on them when received. But other than that he likes them and I would order from you again!
