Took them out of the box yesterday, put them on my feet, and wore them for 10+ hours. Wore them again all day today, and spent at least half my day on a ladder. Yeah, my feet are a little sore, but no blisters or real problems to speak of, and Im not even wearing proper boot socks.

They look good, too. Got my first compliment at work today.

A few thoughts:

* The color is darker than I expected. Almost espresso. Nice, but the belt I bought to match... doesnt. Ill need to get a new one.
* They run large. I wear a 13D in almost every other brand of boot or shoe, but in these, Im a 12D.
* The toe box has plenty of room. Ive had to return other brands of safety toe boots due to fit problems in the toe, but these are just right.
* You can (and should) experiment with lacing patterns to dial in the fit. Google how to lace boots for some suggestions if you're not sure where to start.
* The included laces aren't great; do yourself a favor and spend the extra ten bucks on a nicer set. I went with 45 Honey Badgers and they're perfect.
* They don't have much arch support. My next upgrade may be a set of insoles.

Overall, Im very impressed with these boots, and my minor complaints aren't worth losing a star over. Ive had my eye on a pair of Red Wing moc-toes for years, but I never got over the sticker shock. These are a great alternative for half the price.
