They definitely have a break in period but after that, they feel like I'm walking on clouds. The only complaint that I have is that they are very uncomfortable standing in one spot for an extended period of time, like very painful. Other than that, pretty solid!

It looks like a strong boot, but need better insole. To stay working for long time is hard. Wearing it for about three weeks and I have to take it off at least one time a day for about 20 minutes.

I bought this shoe for my husband who is an auto technician and he reported changes to his feet the next day after he started using this shoe. He stands all day long and reports he is not tired as he used to with the regular tennis shoe.

Definitely go wide and the go a size up. First impression is comfortable but we shall see after I put them through some punishment at work. I give it a 4 being smaller than expected. Adidas tends to inform you better with their purchase.

The shoes are comfortable and very lightweight as well as protecting my feet. However my feet get very hot in them. Overall a comfortable shoe

Personally, I love them. Comfortable even with long days at work in harsh conditions. I've had three pairs over five years, and they last much longer than any other boot I've tried. The first part to go is usually the side stitching where it connects with the sole and toe box.

I do a lot of walking around at job sites that require safety toed boots. These boots are a great alternative for someone who does not want to spend the money on Redwings. My only complaint is the insoles are not that comfortable, but insoles from the drug store fix that problem.

I've been wearing New Balance for a long time, and have had nearly every style of shoe they make. These were exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately they run a half size smaller than other New Balance. I wish they'd had them in a bigger size, but I had to return as they are just too small to be comfortable.

They feel like I'm walking with pillows on my feet. Just waiting to see how they hold up and how long they'll last. so far a couple months in and they still look good and feel great

These boots are SO light! They appear to be very well made. Unfortunately they didn't fit ME. The toebox was too low and my toes were rubbing against the protective toe cap.
I wish they did fit, I'd very much like to wear them.

It took about a week or 2 to break them in. They're really comfortable after the break in period. I'm on my feet 8-10 hours per day and I have no problems with my feet hurting.

I recently started working in an commissary/grocery store. Out of the 3 boots I bought for work, these by far are the most comfortable. My only complaint if I had one is it takes about a week to break in the ankle/top portion of the boot. Kind of feels like the brackets are stiff at first when you lace them up. I would definitely recommend these if you are on your feet all day.

I intentionally ordered these boots a half size larger to accommodate an insole or additional pair of socks. However, they seem to fit very well with a single pair of socks. If you need the room, you may consider ordering a full size larger than normal

Seems like they'll hold up well. But not much more comfortable than other brands. Was hoping the comfort would be noticeably improved like new balance shoes.

I really like the shoe, I just need a half size larger. I suspect it may be in part due to the safety toe.

We bought these boots for my husband's work. He stands on his feet all day and these seem to be comfortable as well as meeting safety requirements. Be careful though, they run a little small. My husband had to send the first ones back and order a half size larger.
