Timberland PRO 6" Met Guard Steel Toe SKU #7217503(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I am a 53 year old former concrete block hauler. Hauled block for over 20 years. I am now the block yard supervisor. I load trucks with a forklift and I have to lift heavy blocks when customers need certain amounts of block for their order. I am talking lots of 30 to 75 pound concrete blocks moved by hand. Foot protection and comfort is a must as I am on my feet a lot. I have always had trouble finding a comfortable shoe of any kind because of bad feet, I always order two sizes too large. Even tennis shoes can rub my feet the wrong way. These boots, without question, are the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned, almost want to wear them all the time. They are heavy, but I have gotten use to that. I was putting an order together and a 35 pound concrete block fell onto my foot when I was wearing my old steel toe boots, and the block missed the steel toe part of the boot and mashed my little toe pretty good. So I bought the Met Guard Steel Toe for more protection. Three weeks later the same type of 35 pound block fell onto my foot and it felt like an insect bumping into my foot. These boots are excellent. I still ordered two sizes larger but that is only because of my bad feet. The only fault is that the boot laces are wimpy and wearing out after only two months. As far as long term wear and tear on the boots, I do not know yet. But I am sure I will order another pair when these wear out.

I purchased these work boots six weeks ago and wear them every day to work. I am a welder and these boots have been fantastic from the first time that I put them on. They fit perfectly and were instantly comfortable. The first day that I wore them for work I took my other pair of boots for back up to change into for when my feet might start to hurt as new shoes usually do. I never needed to use them. They were comfortable all day long. I don't think that I can run as fast with them on but, they have definitely protected my feet from falling metal. I highly recommend them for protection and comfort.

Good Heavy Boot - Good protection. Heavy to wear, but I was expecting that. Rubs a little around the collar, so a heavy pair of socks is a must. I purchased these as protection while cutting trees. They do the job!

These boots are great for working - Very sturdy, slip-proof (we work with oils, so they have to be). Without looking too much like a “workman's” boot - you can clean them up and wear them out if you want.

Great boot - It felt like the additional protection was going to make the boot too stiff, but they broke in the first day I wore them. I work for the railroad and work/walk on ballast rock all day long. This boot felt great.

Love them!!! Get nothing but positive comments and inquiries as to where I got the boots from. I don’t want everyone wearing the same as me, so I only told my closest friends. Very rugged, but comfortable shoe.

BEST BOOTS I EVER BOUGHT! I bought this pair of boots because I needed steel toe footwear and I thought it might be good to protect the rest of my foot as well. They were perfect right out of the box, no blisters or sore spots. I wear a ladies size 8 so I ordered a size 7 (men’s) as it is the smallest this boot comes in and they fit like they were made for me. I drive a tractor trailer but have to do a lot of unloading and stuff falls all the time, I feel confident these boots will protect my feet.
