text: Very nice boots! I have always worn Red Wing lace-up work boots and loved them. But, I got tired of dealing with the shoestring so I looked for Pull-on boots. Time is limited so I went to Amazon, looking for Red wings. I didn't see any I liked so I found these and I am really happy with them  especially for the price. It is a handsome boot; the  leather is nice and they were comfortable the very first day. I read reviews saying to order a full size smaller. I didn't want to take a chance so I went a half size down, and went with a wide width. Go wider than normal because steel toe boots can be pure heck if they are too tight (no break-in). That worked perfectly for me.  The insole is not as soft as my Red Wings are, but the are more than adequate. I may add another one later but it seems fine for now. I highly recommend these boots!
