Told you This is "My New Brand"
I recently purchased the Golden Fox Men's Romeo Chelsea and in that review I mentioned I was going to by a Moctoe and I did, this one. I was very impressed with what I got. Now it was not instant comfort like the Romeo Chelsea it needed breaking in more so than they did. The usual spots like the instep area and the collar hit my ankle in a way that was a bit uncomfortable, but I never use the last eyelet, so the collar was not going to be an issue in the long run. I laced them all the way up just because it was my first wear. The toebox I thought would be an issue because I prefer a wide one, but it turned out perfect. The came the best part everyday they wore better not weeks but days and most of my concerns started going away. I did not buy these as work boots but as casual boots with jeans, but I did some light work in them setting up sound for a gathering in a venue. I crawled around on the floor, stage setup and such, they felt very good. This morning I put a little dab of oil on them and rubbed in and Wow! It went from that slightly pleathery look to a rich, obviously leather look. It was a very tiny change in the deepness of its color, but it made all the difference, and they feel well conditioned baseball mitt. They are now my daily wear.

2nd Pair
Recently received my second pair of these boots in black, my first pair was the tan. After trying many boots on the market these are by far the most comfortable. They are really durable, true to size and a pleasure to wear day after day. I would highly recommend these to anyone thinking about them. And on top of all that their customer service is second to none so buy with confidence, you won't be dissapointed.

GREAT BOOTS FOR GREAT PRICE!
The boots are great! The price is great! They are super comfortable! I’m on my feet all day and these boots offer great comfort and stability! Plus they look great! The more you wear them the better they Look! If you’re on a budget and can’t afford some $250 plus moc-toes these are a great alternative!The break in process was Rough I was thinking of returning them but after 2 days they were good to go and I love them and wear them as often as I can!I would recommend to size down either a half or a full size down as they come a bit big. I wear an insole for my back and it filled in the boot perfectly with just sizing down a half number.

Really OK boots with some work
I really wanted to try these boots mostly out of curiosity. The price is right, and the company has a good reputation. I've had both Red Wing Heritage, and Thorogood mocs. I had to sell my Red Wings because they were absurdly heavy even for a heritage boot. And The Thorogood mocs I had in Black so they just never made it into the rotation that often. Comfort wise Red Wings are a draw with Thorogood if you have the patience to break in Red wings, but TG are better out the box. These GOLDEN FOX boots were A+. Literally zero break in time, and are super comfortable after a few months. For me personally I love the weight. I have MS and my left leg is partially paralyzed so weight is really an issue when it's hard to lift your barefoot. They almost wear like a sneaker, but don't take that the wrong way. They are a very sturdy boot. I am a size 10.5 in both RW and TG, but had to size down to a 10 with these. They run a full size big, This unlined Copper pair is supposed to be the lightest they offer, and it definitely feels that way to me. Another reason I pulled the trigger on these is they finally made an unlined version, BUT it only comes in the Copper color. If you want to resole a goodyear welted boot years later a lined boot is most likely going to be shredded on the inside with all the fabric/padding. So they are moving in the right direction by having unlined options. The original lined Golden Fox Moc have a pretty decent oil tanned leather. This Copper color looks painted on. It's just flat plasticy and unappealing in hand. So after a few weeks I decided to strip them with Renomat, and then doubled down with Saddle Soap. Once I got rid of that flat weird color, and moitsuized with some Lexol. They look waaaaay better. When you push, or scratch the leather you can now see it act like full grain leather. I am happy with the way they look now, and I think they will take on a nice natural patina opposed to the waxy Copper color. The crepe sole has more traction than both the Red Wings, and Thorogood. They call it Rubberlon. As far as sole durability I can't say yet because it's only been a few months. The uppers will last years. The only other downside besides the color I can think of is they have a synthetic welt. Some sort of plastic that could maybe crack, and make re-soling more expensive if it has to be replaced with something natural. Overall now that the uppers are looking better I'd be willing to pay for a resole for the same price as a new pair. Re-use recycle, and all that. If they make more unlined options I'll pick them up for sure. I might go with their Bondocker next because it's getting great reviews. You just can't beat this boot for this price. I highly recommend!

Great boot for the price
I'll start off by saying that I'm a Thorogood wearer mostly. I have 2 pairs of the same style that are 10yrs old. I've even went as far as to getting both "restored." I was looking for a new pair of boots and since I'm not at a VMC pushing chips all day, I didn't want to spend double the price of these for a new pair.The first day these destroyed my feet. The remedy was to sinch them very tight. The next day was much better and by the 3rd they were ready to roll. These are very comfortable boots. I put some dr inserts in them and shoe greased them. They are my dailys now. I mean all day everyday. Grab some for yourself. The tongue does want to fall to the side so get the lace loop imo.
