I work for a transmission line construction company, and am required to wear steel toed boots (even though I don't work with machinery). I'll admit I was kind of mad about having to buy/wear steel toes, and so I didn't want to pay much for them. I found this pair and thought "Ha! Pink boots! This will show them!" I took the advice from the previous reviews and bought a half size up, and they fit perfectly. I was extremely surprised with how comfortable these boots are, especially since they have the steel toe. I work 50-60 hours a week and wear these the whole time, and haven't had any problems with comfort or wear (I've even had to hike in them a few times). For the price, these boots are a real steal. If you need steel toe boots for work, look no further!
