I have now owned three pairs of Pittsburgh's and they are, without a doubt, the most comfortable pair of work boots I have ever owned. This is owed in large part to Keen's extra-generous toe box and width. With a normal pair of steel toes, the edge of the toe always ends up putting down pressure on the top of my foot. This doesn't happen with these boots and they feel just like a pair of regular hiking boots.

The only real drawback is in the durability category. These aren't a pair of heavy, top-stitched work bootsthe kind you could expect to get multiple years of service from. For me, a pair lasts just shy of six months, but I'm also extremely hard on footwear. The leather uppers on the Pittsburgh have actually worn very well, but the soles of my last pair started separating within about four months. Again, I'm really hard on boots, other's may find their boots last significantly longer.

All that being said, I'd recommend this boot to anyone who needs a safety-toed shoe and spends a lot of their time walking great distances outdoors. I'd also recommend it to anyone with wide and/or flat feet, as that typical safety-toe bite is nonexistent.
