I'm writing this review for my husband.  He wears a size 12 Extra Wide boot.  This is his first time ordering/wearing boots that have a carbon fiber toe instead of a steel toe (that he's been wearing since he was 12 years old!).  He really likes how much lighter they are (thanks to the carbon fiber) as well as the Extra Wide fit.  Apparently I had orered only Wide in the past.  He is unsure about the eyelets being plastic as opposed to metal; he said he is very hard on eyelets and usually bends the metal ones.  His preferred workboot and everyday boot is the Wolverine brand as he's been wearing them for years. One pair will usually last him a year (although his last pair was stretched to 1.5 years).  I will ammend this review if something should happen as far as the carbon fiber not holding up as well as steel toe or if they eyelets break.  Otherwise, he highly recommends this boot to those with an Extra Wide foot who are wanting a durable work boot.
