Bought these for a work requirement and I didn't want to spend a lot of money.  I've been wearing them everyday for about 3-1/2 months.  They are fine now, but yowza! they were SO uncomfortable for the first 2 months.  Feet in pain, the kind of discomfort that spreads to your knees, hips and back.  They have NO arch support whatsoever and it took this long for them to break in and conform to my feet.  All that being said, now they have broken in, they feel fine.  They are lighter than most other steel toes I had looked at.  They don't rub and chafe at the heel or around the toes.  I'm not sure if I would buy them again, but if I did I would get an arch support and possibly a cushioned insole for them.
