Initially Im very impressed with these shoes. I should tell you the first thing I do with any shoe is to take the oem in-sole out and put in an aftermarket one. I make my living as a plumber so these shoes will get their fair share of punishment! I was skeptical about some that claim the opening to shoe is too small/tight.....? I have a size 14 wide foot and don't find this to be an issue at all...? Lots of room in the toe area so I can move my toes, not binding. Hard to find these trait and the shoe fitting in other areas. Great work Carhartt, Id be lieing if I said carhartt has never let me down but for the most part their gear is solid.
