Georgia Boot Men's Steel Toe Logger Work Boots, 8 in.

Best work boots I've ever owned. During the 2-week break in period, I nearly gave up on them, but I'm really glad I didn't. My shins hurt like heck initially, but one day it just quit. I am using Georgia Boot CC5 insoles, which may be partly why I would say the foot bed is wonderful. I also end up working in water a lot and they are indeed water proof.

I have been wearing these boots for 30 years now, We do emergency electrical inspections for known electrical hazards caused by major lightning strikes, transient power surges and poor and dangerous electrical installations. These boots have saved my life 3 separate times from faulty, or illegal electrical equipment/installations.

The good: Mildly oversized steel toe cap gives lots of room (I prefer wider though). Excellent industry standard Vibram soles. Strong Goodyear welted construction, to make resoling easy anywhere. Good feeling leather quality. Overall feeling is high quality & heavy duty. The bad: Overall fit was slightly loose, I test wore them with my normal work socks && insoles from other boots. The steel caps used are roomy, but still had some ruubbing; I had a little pain on the outside of 1 boot. Some heel slip, that would likely not improve with break-in. BULKY, these boots look like insulated hunting boots - but they aren't. HEAVY-duty, these are serious stompers, probably best suited for outdoor demolition work; I'm pretty sure I could kick through the walls of my neighbor's house with them. Conclusion: I returned them, the process was normal, and took 10 days for a refund. They're not a bad HEAVY-DUTY choice, if you can catch them on sale, and you have plenty of time to break them in properly.

I have been wearing this style of boot for 27 years now. I get about 2.5 years on them before replacing due to the soles wearing the lugs off and starting to get slippery on smooth wet floors. My feet stay warm and dry all year until I step in water that is higher than the gusset. But that’s to be expected. Shopping on here now to see if I want to switch up but why when I have such a long great history with this style.
