Just as my title states, these are, by far, the BEST boots I have EVER owned. I'm a horse person, and have gone through a lot of different types of boots. I've also gone through different types of steel toes in both an industrial, and retail setting... Of all of the boots I've ever owned, these are the most comfortable, the best fitting, and the most durable. I forget entirely that I'm wearing steel toes until I hear the solid thunk of my toe hitting something I ran into. I've had these for two months, and they do not look like they are more than a few days out if the box. I just cleaned them with my passier lederbalm, and was amazed at how they became better than they already were. These boots definitely can pass when you need a dressier steel toe. I wear mine with both black work jeans, and black dress pants. They play the part of both dress styles extremely well. The support in these boots is just right. Not too little, or hard, leading you to aches of all kinds. Nor too soft/giving that everything just breaks down, including you. I put my orthotics in, and still have a very comfortable fit. I have wide feet at the ball of my foot, long feet, long toes, and skinny ankles. For the first time, my foot isn't squashed, my toes actually have room without the shoe being too long, and my boot doesn't flop around or wiggle on my foot. CAT, thank you so, so, so much for creating this boot. Words cannot express the true depth of my gratitude. I have a comfortable boot that meets all the requirements I have/need for safety (I'm PIT certified), AND look amazing regardless if whether I'm dressed to carry a million tools, or I'm dressed to impress the 'suits'.*Update*The lining in my boots has completely worn through at the heel... I've only had them for 3 months...
