New Balance WID412v1

width foot

I do not have wide feet and have never had to purchase wide shoes before.

washing

They are not the most breathable shoe so definitely expect an odor after awhile from sweating in them (throwing them in the washer helps for a short while, tried many odor killers, something about the material makes them smell odd).

walking

I'm not hard on them, only walking around a factory, mostly concrete floors.

sweaty

strap

My last pair lasted nearly 2 years before they started breaking down heavily (tread peeling, laces damaged, material on the toe started to peel off).

timberland

I got those corns from wearing a $170 pair of Timberland safety shoes, so brand and price doesn't ensure comfort.

damage

repair

comfortable

The only comfy shoes These shoes are the only ones I can find that fit right, the problem is that they break or wear out in about 6 months.

Most comfortable for 12 hrs on your feet!

Good working shoes They are very comfortable to wear and easy to work in

Good shoe This shoe is comfortable all day.

Very comfortable Most comfortable alloy toe work sneaker i have EVER had.

wear

I've worn them for 10 hour shifts before and barely felt my feet ache.

Timberland PRO Men's Branston Moc-Toe Slip-On Work Shoe

width

though the elastic between the tongue and the shoe is not quite wide enough to stretch enough, and makes these shoes extremely hard to put on.

tightness top

Even using a shoe horn, I still have to make sure that my socks are stretched tight over the top of my foot before inserting, or there will be a painful crease under the tongue that will require the shoe to be removed and put back on again.

shoe tongue

Don’t be afraid to go 1/2 size bigger if you do a lot of walking.

These Timberland Pros are the best safety shoes Absolutely the best casual safety toe shoes.

They are oil and slip resistant (must in an automotive repair shop).

ESD protection doesn't work The shoes are very comfortable

Very comfortable safety toe Good shoe if you need safety toes

Could never get comfortable in them, or put them on within reasonable effort.

They fit good and are extremely comfortable, even from the first time I put them on.

They are extremely comfortable and are very stylish.

I typically wear these shoes for about 12 hours a day, 5-6 days per week and are comfortable all day.

Once that is done, they are pretty comfortable for the rest of the day.

**INITIAL REVIEW** Great looking shoe, and very comfortable, once you get it on.

I bought a shoe horn to assist with these, and while that kind of negates the "slip on" aspect of these shoes, they are comfortable and look good.

purchase

I am currently on my second pair of these now and I will continue to order more.

Wolverine Men's W04821 Buccaneer Work Boot

worn-out

I have worn these boots and the identical eyelet snagged and broke, they small foul and are as uncomfortable as I've ever worn.

toe shoe-box

but still too big in the toe box and a little too much movement of the heel on one foot (the other was fine).

size

Rugged and Heavy-Duty MAN Boots I brought these slightly "used" from Amazon Warehouse deals for 50% off the $160.95 normal price for my size and width.

The grey part of the bottom,the transition rubber where the leather upper meets the sole, has a number of small air-bubbles.

The leather does scuff easily, But this is par course for all leather footwear.

He wears them for work (Autobody repair) and he says they are super comfortable and they last a long time.

boot

These replaced a pair of 27+ yr old Elkwood boots I brought from Sears sometime between 1988 and 1991.

The boots have ample heft to them and provide ample support for the ankles.

Oooooh, I Like These Boots **BARGAIN** FINALLY- a nice pair of waterproof boots at a reasonable price!

They seem to wear well, and I think they will be durable (I'm not too hard on boots.

I've been wearing workboots since I was a teenager (and I'm middle-aged now) and I can usually tell after a few weeks use if a pair will be durable or not.

DURABILITY UPDATE 11-12-2014 O-K, so I've been wearing these boots 90% of the time in the few months I've had them.

Comfortable all day long I'm a carpenter, and I spend most days on my feet.

They are also very comfortable, I tried several different pairs of different manufacturer's boots and had foot trouble - much less so with these.

I've worn them all day and have been comfortable.

And they're SO comfortable, in every situation. One caveat: If you climb ladders a lot: These soles can be a little slippery on aluminum ladder rungs-

but that's from reg wear and tear and the way i walk.

summer shoe

strap damage

Shoe strings did deteriorate on me on 2 pairs

If you guys like the timberland pros these are better.

Completely acceptable wear and damage for the amount of time I’ve had them.

I took the boot to a local boot repair store and had them rivet a new single rivet hook at a cost of $4 US.

Otherwise I expect to get a good year of use from these boots.. Update: July 2017: added photos of the areas that needed stitching repair.

I really lucked out in my town in that we have a boot repair specialist that was able to sew an outer leather strips over the loosened seams.

He did an excellent repair, matched the leather color and stitch color, looks factory finish.

These boots are the most comfortable I have owned.

great value and good fit The shoe fit perfectly and very comfortable.

Comfortable,good wear souls and lace up nice.

TLDR; Comfy, fit nice, thread broke after 2 weeks and they sent me out a new pair no questions asked.

I love the support these boots and comfy insoles provide.

Quality issue Good quality leather, comfortable fit and size seemed true.

Hands down the best boots I have ever had thus far.

My go to for work boots My last 3 pairs over the last decade have been Cat Salvo boots.

3) I treated the boots with Sno-Seal before use, and had really good results with the water proofing.

work wear

unstable

I have found them to be a little unstable compared to work boots, a couple of times I almost twisted my ankle while stepping on/off a curb.

tiring

It would be helpful for tired late night shoppers if they popped "metal" alloy,

thick sole

sole

They're still holding strong after 18 months although the insole cushion is gone,

Quality & Durability Concerns - The outsole of the shoe has disintegrated and crumbled away almost completely, as clearly shown in the attached image.

Bottom Line **I cannot recommend these shoes based on my experience.

I'm sure the insoles will need replaced after 4-5 months like every other work shoe ever.

I have owned a few pairs of these shoes before an this last pair just felt weird to start the materials seamed less padding and the bottom sole had less support then normal.

That was late April now in September I need to buy another pair of shoes because the soles ripped apart

The sole doesn't look like it would be non-slip

but the Timberland Pros were the best I've tried and still use today at the airport.

The exterior is seamless so you won't tear your shoe up because it got caught on something.

They felt strange under my feet, as if I had forgotten to remove my shoe covers (for indoor work; I do appliance repair and customers often request we wear shoe covers).

They were surprisingly comfortable out of the box and had great cushion.

My husband said these were the most comfortable shoes he’s ever worn.

Comfort These shoes are comfortable and size is right for your feet, a little bulky and somewhat heavier than regular shoes

even though his job doesn't require steel toe because they are so comfortable.

These shoes feel like sneakers, super light and comfortable.

These are the 3rd pair I have purchased and they are extremely light and very comfortable to walk in all day.

They did not require any break in, and they are very comfortable to stand in.

I wear these boots while working in the plants, walking over gravel, concrete, and asphalt, and they hold up great.

Durable, very low wear and comfortable for mechanic.

These shoes have held up amazing, the soles have barely worn even stepping harsh chemicals all day.

This is the 5th or 6th pair I have bought since 2017 and I wear them every single day.

Awesome lightweight work shoe He wears these shoes

With the composite toe he can wear these shoes for electrical work with more protection.
