Men's - Louisville 6" Int Met Leather Waterproof Steel Toe

boot

but not tennis) Clown toe section past the thick rubber cracks Stitching came loose after 2years Inner lining not forgiving with rigid insoles The boots fit right where you expect for size and as I have a hard corrective insole I went a 1/2 size up and they fit just right.

However and maybe this is more fault to my insole than to this boot, after a year the inside lining started to wear away and I had to gorilla tape contact points to reduce the wear.

However with weatherproofing comes humidity and funk and these boots do make your feet sweat so I had to switch to white socks (not sure why black makes it worse) and regularly scent bombing the boot.

However, passing the 2+ year mark the damage from regular wear and tear has caught up with this boot in the worse way and outlines its weakest links.

Long story short, the fit of these boots runs very small overall, so I ordered an 11-1/2 2E instead of an 11 2E.

This concerned me so much that I almost shipped these boots back to G & L Clothing.

I work 10 hour days six days per week in these boots, so anything that could cause pain would be magnified by the swelling in my feet as those long days progress.

While walking in these boots, the met guards seem to be rubbing on the leather of the tongue of the boots and it creaks very loudly with every step.

When I went to the Redwing store, the prices sent me into shock. When I mentioned the ultra high price being an issue, the salesman said "But these are Cadillac boots."

Those supposed Cadillac boots offered almost no ankle support BTW.

damage

although 3 stiches wide has begun to pull out where it meets the rubber and that clown boot section of rubber/plastic material (not the toe thick part, the thinner black material) is cracked and full of puncture holes from incidental use and from crouching over time.

but have a large negative when used outside of that perfect window (damage causes total failure).

sole

I had to completely remove the factory insole and replace it with antifatigue insoles and Dr. Scholl's arch support insoles.

But for first 2 years or so no complaints with leaky soles or seams until the issues outlined below.

walking

I work in a very noisy environment, so that isn't much of an issue to me except that it does seem to wake my wife up in the morning when I am walking around getting ready for work.

uncomfortable

It is enough to be noticeable and even slightly uncomfortable.

The discomfort is still there after a week,

concrete floor

My feet dont get sore after working on a concrete floor for 12 hours, so that's a huge plus.

heavy boot

3 Year Review: Not a permanent item on boot rack
I have owned these boots for 3 years in a heavy industrial manufacturing environment and after those 3 years I can say "wasn't a bad boot,

work boot

LOVE THESE BOOTS
I have worn these boots for one week at work now and I feel somewhat qualified to leave at least a preliminary bit of feedback.

This provides my very tender feet and more importantly ankles with vastly more support than I am used to receiving from a pair of work boots.

ankle support

The ankle support is nothing short of astonishing.

These Keens offer so much foot and ankle support that I am able to work all day on my feet and not suffer nearly as much as I did before.

comfortable

I’m on my feet all day and these are nice and comfortable to the soles of my feet.
