New BalanceMen's Composite Toe Calibre Industrial Boot

I work 9-10 hours every day with heavy equipment parts and am on my feet all day working with customers at our part counter in our yard and in our warehouse. I walk log 3-4 miles in these every day. After about a month of heavy use they have been pretty good. I normally wear a standard width boot or shoe, but these are a little wider, especially in the toe box. If you want more room in the toe box, it works good for that.Standard shoe size: 11.5Size ordered: 12Fit: GoodPros:- Zipper makes it really easy to get these on and off- Comfortable insoles- reinforced material on the toe adds durability- the laces are decent material- bottom sole is a good materialCons:- Boot is a little wide so plan on using thicker socks. This is probably a pro if you are working in a colder environment and wearing these boots.- The top lace holes are actually normal lace holes, the picture makes it look like they may be hooks, but they are not. This isn't a huge issue with the zipper though.- they are a little wider, and with bigger feet, it's tougher to get the lacing down right so they are comfortable for all the ranges of movement I do daily.- full leather and no mesh means they don't breath well. If purchased, I'd suggest un zipping halfway through your day to allow your feet to breathe.- Lower quality leather. The leather seems to be a lower quality so expect it to scuff easily.Bottom line:The price on these boots at the time of writing this is about $150. This is a great price for what you get. You could definitely do worse at this price. Are they the absolute best quality? no, but If you are used to getting a new pair of work boots every 6-12 months, I think these will work for you.

So far these boots are really comfortable, light weight , and durable. They are get broke in nicely and slipping off and on quite easily with the zipper side.

I really like this boot. It looks nice and is very comfortable. The composite toe seems to offer a lot of protection. The zipper seemed like it would offer a quick on and off option but in reality I can take off lace up boots quicker. This leaves the zipper as more of an eyesore or area of potential failure.I normally do not buy wide boots but I might consider it after trying these on. There was a little bit too much room in the toe box, however, that made me feel like they might not break in well and could cause rubbing in the future at the toe bend. For these reasons, I returned them. A different size might have made me change my mind but a cheaper, simpler boot with a great snug fit has won me over.

This is the nicest boot I have ever owned. It is also the most money I have ever paid for a boot. Ordered my normal size 11 4E for my wide foot, and it is a great fit. This is the only pair of boots that I own that I am using the stock insole so far. Well constructed and looks great.

This boot is very comfortable first off it’s like wearing a tennis shoe but don’t get excited that you think you’re buying a boot. It is not waterproof. The leather is equivalent to a tennis shoe but if you have to have a safety boot in your in a warehouse or something That you’re not in the elements this would probably be just fine

These New Balance work boots are super comfortable! They are sturdy and lightweight. Great for walking on hard surfaces all day. I wear custom orthotics and they fit perfectly in the shoes. I need to clear a metal detector for work and they make it through with no problems. I think I found my new boots!

These boots were very light and comfortable at first. After the first day my feet were killing me. They hurt so bad. Tried wearing them with different insoles. Nothing worked. The soles provide no comfort or support. I wear New Balance sneakers all the time. New Balance dropped the ball on this one. Wish I could return them. What a waste.

Awesome boot. Super comfortable boot. I’m flat footed with plantar fasciitis, and have been struggling trying to find a shoe that works. These have been great so far.
