Great Boot! Got this boot for work. My last employer paid for three pairs of these boots over a five year period. I put them on the first day and never took them off. No break-in period was needed. They felt great from the very first minute. I had no idea how bad my old work boots were hurting my feet, ankles, knees, and back. I'm really hard on boots and shoes. I tear up a cheap pair in six months or less. I've worn my last pair of these boot for nearly two years now (I still have the first two pair and wear them when I know they'll get soaking wet or very dirty). They need to be replaced, but they're still serviceable, with lots for tread left on the sole and no holes in the uppers. The only thing I've had to do is replace the shoe strings once (I'm hard on everything). A great value in my humble opinion.

WORX work shoes that fit and feel like tennis shoes - My husband works in the oilfield. This is the 2nd pair of WORX 5501 shoes he has purchased. He loves them!! They are safety rated for the oilfield, waterproof, and according to him really comfortable. He uses a lot of mud with diesel fueled in it for his job and the shoes stood up to that invert mud as well. When his first paid finally started wearing out, he started looking at the labels in the shoe to figure out what model they were. We were going to drive 175 miles to try to pick up a new pair. Thank goodness I found them on line and we had them in 3 days!! Awesome!

MOST COMFORTABLE STEEL TOED WORK BOOTS EVER!!!! I bought these boots for my boyfriend who owns his own automotive repair shop and works from 7 am to at least 9 or 10 pm - sometimes later. All that time is spent on his size 15 feet. As you can imagine, it's critical that he have comfortable boots. He has always work Red Wing boots but he reports that he usually has to "brake" them in for at least a week. These were super comforable from the first moment, and of course shipping was lightening fast and customer service was excellent!!!

Great Shoe! I got these for my husband who is a heavy equipment mechanic. They were comfortable from the first day! Also, they were half the price of the last pair of Red Wing boots we bought. He wanted something more light-weight than a traditional work boot, yet still with all the features he needs for safety at work. I highly recommend this shoe!

Great work shoes - I work in a warehouse and have to stand for ten hours on a cement floor. These shoes are great from day one. My feet have not felt this good in years. I also bought a good insole to go with them. I would recommend these shoes to anyone I give them five stars.

Great motorcycle riding boot - Great shoes! Comfortable from day one. I bought these primarily as my riding boots, not a work boot. The oil resistant soles are great at those slippery intersections. The reflective eyelets work well at night, and the orange soles help others see me while on my sport bike. Would definitely recommend these.

Awesome work boot - Love this shoe. Felt like butter right out of the box. Scuffed in the front a little too easy for my taste but the point is that there the most comfortable work boot I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned quite a few comfortable ones). A Wide foot person’s paradise!!!

LOVE THEM - Man! I'm a short guy with wide feet and always HATE having to get steel toe boots because I usually have to buy them at least a size and a half too big, but these are VERY comfortable, good support, good movement, great fit, I love them and I'm hooked.

Good shoe - I would say to those that are buying these shoes they are good but you have to break them in a day or so. I have flat feet and these shoes offer good support. A bit of a heavy shoe but a good wearing shoe.

Stylish and rugged - Probably the most comfortable pair of steel toe boots I have ever owned. Not to mention, you can wear these on any occasion, and not just work if you so desire. I really dig these shoes.

I have difficulty finding a steel toe work boot with a roomy toe box. So I bought this boot in the wide width and still could not wear them. But they look great!
