Great Boot!
Got this boot for work. My last employer paid for three pairs of these boots over a five year period. I put them on the first day and never took them off. No break-in period was needed. They felt great from the very first minute. I had no idea how bad my old work boots were hurting my feet, ankles, knees, and back. I'm really hard on boots and shoes. I tear up a cheap pair in six months or less. I've worn my last pair of these boot for nearly two years now (I still have the first two pair and wear them when I know they'll get soaking wet or very dirty). They need to be replaced, but they're still serviceable, with lots for tread left on the sole and no holes in the uppers. The only thing I've had to do is replace the shoe strings once (I'm hard on everything). A great value in my humble opinion.

This shoe is a good, durable work shoe. It has been taking several weeks to get it broke in, but the more I wear it, the better it feels.

WORX work shoes that fit and feel like tennis shoes -
My husband works in the oilfield. This is the 2nd pair of WORX 5501 shoes he has purchased. He loves them!! They are safety rated for the oilfield, waterproof, and according to him really comfortable. He uses a lot of mud with diesel fueled in it for his job and the shoes stood up to that invert mud as well. When his first paid finally started wearing out, he started looking at the labels in the shoe to figure out what model they were. We were going to drive 175 miles to try to pick up a new pair. Thank goodness I found them on line and we had them in 3 days!! Awesome!

MOST COMFORTABLE STEEL TOED WORK BOOTS EVER!!!!
I bought these boots for my boyfriend who owns his own automotive repair shop and works from 7 am to at least 9 or 10 pm - sometimes later. All that time is spent on his size 15 feet. As you can imagine, it's critical that he have comfortable boots. He has always work Red Wing boots but he reports that he usually has to "brake" them in for at least a week. These were super comforable from the first moment, and of course shipping was lightening fast and customer service was excellent!!!

I work in a very large machine shop in Dallas, Texas. I wore Red Wing work boots for 12 years, and went for another and ended up in the Worx 5501, I am pleasantly surprised. Ankle high, flexible, light (compared to boots). Not leather seems to be only downside (breathable loss) and light replace insole quickly though. But all in all I like em, and needing to wear a steel toe I recommend em.

Nice boot, fits toes very well and the boot breaths very nice to. A all around good boot. Not sure on how well they hold up yet 1 month of wear. Zappos customer service outstanding!

Good shoe -
I would say to those that are buying these shoes they are good but you have to break them in a day or so. I have flat feet and these shoes offer good support. A bit of a heavy shoe but a good wearing shoe.

I have difficulty finding a steel toe work boot with a roomy toe box. So I bought this boot in the wide width and still could not wear them. But they look great!

I'm buying my second pair of these as we speak. These were the first pair of steel toes I ever wore but they've been the most comfortable shoes I own. I work in a machine shop and they really help with the slip of coolant on the floor. These first pair lasted me 4 years/8-10 hours a day for 5 days a week before the leather started to separate from the sole, but I am not hesitating to buy these again.

I didn't really expect steel toed safety work shoes to be that comfortable but they really are. I bought mine to wear on a tour of two large industrial facilities so I only had a few days to break them in. I walked a lot in them and they were really comfortable. They do take a little effort to lace up but they are worth the effort.

Felt a bit narrow for my flat feet at first, but then over time they broke in and now they feel great. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Bought them for my husband who is on his feet on concrete running a machine. He said they were a little tight on the sides of his foot, but after a couple days, they were fine. The size runs true, and he likes them very well.

Great looking shoe - holds up to the tough kitchen workout I give it each and every day! The non-slip sole is crucial in our kitchen environment. This WORX boot has held up very well, thanks!

Awesome work boot -
Love this shoe. Felt like butter right out of the box. Scuffed in the front a little too easy for my taste but the point is that there the most comfortable work boot I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned quite a few comfortable ones). A Wide foot person’s paradise!!!

Stylish and rugged -
Probably the most comfortable pair of steel toe boots I have ever owned. Not to mention, you can wear these on any occasion, and not just work if you so desire. I really dig these shoes.

LOVE THEM -
Man! I'm a short guy with wide feet and always HATE having to get steel toe boots because I usually have to buy them at least a size and a half too big, but these are VERY comfortable, good support, good movement, great fit, I love them and I'm hooked.

Great work shoe -
Very comfortable, feels like a sneaker. I don't rush to take them off as soon as I get home. You wouldn't believe they are steel-toed.

Great motorcycle riding boot -
Great shoes! Comfortable from day one. I bought these primarily as my riding boots, not a work boot. The oil resistant soles are great at those slippery intersections. The reflective eyelets work well at night, and the orange soles help others see me while on my sport bike. Would definitely recommend these.

Great Shoe!
I got these for my husband who is a heavy equipment mechanic. They were comfortable from the first day! Also, they were half the price of the last pair of Red Wing boots we bought. He wanted something more light-weight than a traditional work boot, yet still with all the features he needs for safety at work. I highly recommend this shoe!

Great work shoes -
I work in a warehouse and have to stand for ten hours on a cement floor. These shoes are great from day one. My feet have not felt this good in years. I also bought a good insole to go with them. I would recommend these shoes to anyone I give them five stars.

I purchased these shoes for my son. He has "flat feet" and most shoes are very uncomfortable for him. He tells me these are very comfortable. I am very pleased with these shoes.
