I work in a paper mill and require steel or composite toe shoes or boots. Boots are always heavy and bulky and my other steel toe hikers are pretty heavy too. Idk if it's bc I'm used to the heaviness on my feet, but these feel like regular sneaker weight. I normally wear a 9 and bought a 9, they fit perfectly. Hopefully they will not fall apart.Very comfortable steel toes. I have large feet and wide so finding a comfortable shoe with a steel toe is hard but this shoe does the job! Highly recommend!I always get a size bigger. Love themThese fit better than I expected and have saved my toes on more than one occasion already.Very comfortable!
