UPDATE: I can't say enough positives about these boots, the traction over ice is fantastic, I also have a pair of "Made in America Danners" Rain Forest 200 gm Thinsulate with Vibram soles that I purchased for $200 less then retail over the AAFES web site and their traction is like ice skates compared to this $70+ pair of boots. As long as you're walking your feet won't get cold.  Toe box is fine since I bought them 1/2 size larger and wear thick wool socks in the winter.  Not sure how long the sole will last but at this price compared to the Danners or Timberlands that I own I have a new friend in these Nitrogens and well I think a pair of Waterproof Argons Hi are in order with the extra toe protection!  Way to go Caterpillar for the composite toe; (less weight, meets same standard as steel toe, and won't get near as cold) When I say less weight that's an understatement!!!

PROS:
Compared to steel toes these are like feathers
No break in period for me and Iv'e got two bunions one on each foot just behind big toe.  With that said they look slim in the toe box region but have not given me any problems during the two weeks I've been wearing them for 12 hours a day.
Tread is great but I think if you scuff your feet like a child or lazy "pants on the ground" teenager then the soft rubber will wear quickly, "not Vibram"
Good Grip
Eyelets are synthetic and hold the laces very tight, no slipping or loosening.
Very comfortable as I bought 1/2 size big for insoles one on top of the one it came with and wool socks for winter since they're not insulated.

CONS:  Just ranting at this point
Shoes are ridiculously priced since most of them are made in China with very cheap labor and all materials are bought at stock prices to produce the nicest quality product at the very cheapest price to make the most profit. Maybe I could see charging these prices if the company was shipping this one pair from China to my doorstep but they shipped probably thousands of pairs of shoe's, tool belts etc... at the same time with other companies shipments on a container vessel.

Oh well; I'd recommend if you want lighter then steel toe boot and walkable/workable out of the box!
