text: I went to a local retailer of Carolina Boots to purchase these, but they did not carry this model (nor, did any retailer in my city). But, I had the chance to try on a different model Carolina boot in my size. It fit like a glove, like a super tough and comfortable foot-glove and so do these.<br /><br />These boots also offer great protection. While wearing sneakers I had dropped a log on my foot the weekend before (hence the new steel toe boots) and broke a toe. Wearing these boots allowed me to drop another log (I am a little clumsy) on my foot with the broken toe and I never felt it.<br /><br />Eight hours of chainsawing and stacking logs and it feels like these are already broken-in. Talk about comfort, I could have danced all night in these.
