Boots were quite a bit darker than pictured on Amazon. (Brown) They were almost black with some brown hues in it. They fit well. The steel toe is comfortable. The left heel fits fine while the right heel rubs to the point of driving me insane and causing the back of my heel to blister. I have applied mink oil and tried for several days to wear them all day in attempt to break them in some. Of course with very thick socks and a bandaid on my heel. No signs of improvement yet. I will buy some inserts or something, perhaps that will contour them better and prevent the rubbing.

They do cause a bit of foot discomfort after wearing them all day. I feel like their support and cushioning isn't that great. Of course this opinion is coming from someone who is used to wearing extremely comfortable athletic shoes. I purchased these boots after slamming a table onto my left great toe instantly paining my nail black and blue. Because I'm a fancy lady like that. I almost lost my nail. I may yet.

I feel a great deal more confident in the protection of my feet, but at the cost of comfort. I will continue to try to break them in, but I strongly suggest that a good insert be used with them, and likely all work boots. Or even better would to get some orthotics made. I will begin looking for a good deal on custom orthotics, meanwhile I'll be buying some Dr. Scholl's inserts.
