Customer Reviews Caterpillar Brode Steel Toe

I purchased this product for strictly warehouse work and it looked like these would be good shoes. Great traction on dusty smooth floors, steel toed and good looks, not to mention they started out comfortable. Three weeks into wearing them the structure of the bottom of the shoes started to feel funny, like it's moving around with each step. I get home and take them off and give them a bend to find out that the bottom now will bend front pushing front to back along the entire length of the shoe, like a slipper. They will even bend the other direction when I pinched them from side to side. Does this sound like support for a work shoe? My tennis shoes have way more support! I will be shopping for other work shoes, Shame on Caterpillar for even making this shoes.

Excellent for work. They lasted for a year in the warehouse and took everything I threw at them: mud, snow, spills, pallets, heavy equipment, paint, oily floors, etc. I’m actually buying them again.

I work in an automotive warehouse and I was in need of steel toes shoes. Since I live in Texas, it is usually quite warm and I wear shorts most of the year, that's why I ended up choosing these steel toed sneakers instead of boots. I handle a lot of automotive batteries. Sometimes the handles break and sometimes they leak acid. Wearing normal sneakers wasn't an option anymore. My tennis shoes were only lasting a few months and my toes were getting crushed. After I bought these the problems stopped. I added some dr scholls and now they're perfect. I've had these for 2 years and they're still going strong. 8-12 hours a day at work and I even wear them when I do yard work. Whenever these wear out, I'm definitely getting another pair.

First week, loved the shoes. Weeks later I'm still happy. The toe is light but strong. I haven't slid on my work's often oily floor. Also, they're just plain comfortable.

These are great work shoes. Very light but also very durable. I'm glad I bought these opposed to boots because these are just much more convenient/reasonable, and provide the same steel-toe-actions as a boot. Will buy again for sure.

After a 7 month rotation overseas in a harsh environment, these shoes held up. Currently on a 2nd rotation and couldn't be happier. Fits great, no rubbing, did not break down or fall apart as other reviews have stated. Feet stay dry in wet weather. Picked up a 2nd pair as a replacement and do recommend if looking for a comfortable work shoe that can also go with casual wear back home.

I bought this shoe specifically because I needed a wide steel toe cap. When it arrived the shoe was the correct width but the toe cap was normal width and squeezed my toes.

I love this shoe! Looks like a skate shoe, provides steel toe protection, and is comfortable! Love that it comes in wide sizes for my fat feet. Ordered 1/2 size smaller than normal and fit perfectly.

Shoe feels good on my feet..I will update if the comfort changes...awesome looking non traditional work shoe!

Wow....impressed as soon as I put my foot in.....I was happy, at first I thought they were heavy, but after I walked around with them I appreciated the secure feeling I felt. Very nice work sporty work shoe.

Shoes are very comfy to stand in for multiple hours and I like how they look more like sneakers than boots.

Perfect. I needed a pair of steel toe shoes for a new job, but I didn’t want cumbersome boots. These are exactly what I was looking for. They look really nice, super comfortable, and are very slip resistant. I would definitely recommend these.

I have to wear steel toes for work. And I find these shoes very comfortable.

Really like the shoes overall. They are about as comfortable as converse chuck taylors which is pretty good for a Steele toe. I where a size 14 and bought 14's so the size was true for me. I was most concerned about the width. I went with the D. Every now and then if I pivot quickly or shift quickly, the side of my pinky toe will hit the Steele in the toe box (it doesn't hurt per se, but you know when it happens. Anyway, I am happy I went with the D since the E may have been too wide for me.

Great shoes! Fantastic option for safety toe shoes, extremely comfortable and lightweight. Sizing was right on.

Awesome work shoes. I put new inserts in them and they are great. I work all day on my feet and I working in and out of hot factories running around. They are very flexible. I want to get another pair of them soon when I get the cash because I know if I don't they will change styles or get rid of them by the time I need another pair. I'd rather buy them and leave them in the box then take the chance of changing up on these shoes because there that cool. They look sweet too.

These shoes are fantastic. A bit heavy because of the toe - obviously, but a great alternative to a bigger, clumsy shoe. I only wish the Hi-top version had been in stock

Left foot was perfect. Right foot, the steel toe rubbed against my foot. I am returning them. It turns out I have a Bunyan so no fault of the shoe. They look really nice and I wish I could wear them. I don't know how I will find a safety toe for my feet now.

These shoes are great for working in the warehouse where I'm required to have steel tips. They are fairly light and feel much like a sneaker. They do however get a little uncomfortable after a long day on a concrete floor as most shoes would. This was easily fixed with a pair of gel insoles.

Nice casual looking work boots, that are really comfortable, if you are on your feet a longer period of time.

Overall, I really like these shoes. They feel great everywhere except the toes; the toe is a little more narrow on the inside than it appears in the pictures here, to accommodate the steel toe, and I can feel the difference pretty clearly on my left foot (which is slightly bigger). It's all padded, so it's probably just going to need to be broken in a bit, but it was something I definitely noticed as soon as I put the shoes on. They're light as hell for steel toed shoes, and other than the toes they're incredibly comfortable.

I am in automotive school and wanted some steel-toed shoes. These shoes offer the safety I require and the style that I enjoy! My instructor was thrown off guard at first, saying I had to have slip resistant shoes in the shop. He was surprised to find out that these were not only slip-resistant, but steel-toed, as well. My only few complaints is that after a month or so of wearing them, I noticed my toe had ripped the fabric lining inside that covers the steel. Also, they aren't the most comfortable. If you going to purchase these, I recommend some orthotics. Overall, though, good shoes!

One of these shoes digs into my foot above the toes until after wearing them for about an hour every morning (until it warms up?). The other one fits fine. For safety these aren't made breathable, so my feet end up pretty sweaty at the end of the day. I do like the style and they are comfortable to walk on (soft).

I was happy to see this style of shoe with a steel toe. I was looking for something different to the regular boots that you always see. The shoes are true to size for myself. It did not take as long as some other shoes do to break in. I wear these for 12 hours a day and they are not too bad, I have definitely had worse. The soles on these are a little thinner than I am use to having for work type shoes, I might have to get a gel insert.

My husband typically bought Van's steel-toed work shoe, or Converse. They typically need to have the sole glued back on by the end of a work season (landscaping). We thought we would try something new, and this seems to be much more sturdy. I waterproofed them, and bought rubber over shoes. Working well! He says the inside bottom is a little hard on the foot, but a cheap insole can fix that.
