This is the second pair we have bought since my husband was so pleased with the first pair.  They are his work boots and he has a very demanding job, alot of work crawling under equipment on concrete floors or gravel, wet construction areas and around both heavy and moving machinery.  These protect his feet perfectly and are comfortable for over a year when other boots wore out after 6 months.  Extremely well-made and durable  plus the toe guard is sewn in, not glued on and it has never come off!!  Buy them now, there is no sense in looking at any others.
