Let's start off by saying I'm not a fan of composite toe I've been an electrician for 23 years and been on my feet almost that long These Boots are comfortable right out of the box I cannot feel the composite toe. Other boots I've noticed I can feel the steel toe from the moment I put them on.these however are very comfortable. I will write another review after 1 week of being on the job. The look of these boots is exquisite the materials and the stitching are far superior to anything I've ever bought before
