Great shoe with a minor flaw -
A friend bought me these for work. I own my own ceramic tiling business and I need these to protect my toes because I deal with a lot of heavy equipment on a daily basis.
When I received them and wore them once, the
steel toe inside (closest to the laces) got bent on the right shoe and I could bend it back with my fingers. I
guess the problem is that since I lay tiles, I'm constantly crouching down and it must have pushed down the edge of the steel inside. The weird thing is that the left shoe is fine. So everyday when I put them on, I bend back the steel to its original shape. I'm just hoping that the bending back and forth doesn't cause it to eventually break. The part that bends is VERY small so it wouldn't interfere with the function of the
steel toe so I'm not too worried about it.
On the positive side, these shoes are SO comfortable. I have very sensitive feet and my feet never hurt despite the fact I typically spend a good portion of the day on my feet. The size I ordered was perfect and true to size.
Also the
steel toe is very strong. I typically rest very heavy boards on my toe so I can get a grip on the boards to carry them.
Of course the main reason I bought these shoes were for their looks. They look great and are very lightweight considering they have a
steel toe. I've never worn
steel toe shoes before and I don't notice any considerable extra weight.
I highly recommend these shoes. They're a little pricey but as I always say (despite what my husband thinks-lol); you really do get what you pay for!
