I've tried a few different work/tactical boots recently and these seem to be the best out there as of April 2013.- at least if your looking for a great lightweight tactical comp toe in wide. True size without any surprise sizing issues. These have the composite toe and side zip which are important to me. Great tread, support, light weight and comfortable. The side zip unfortunately seems pretty light duty though and if I could change anything that would be first thing. I will update this review if anything negative happens but after a week of heavy use I have no complaints. one thing to note is the toe is long- its weird but fine If you have long toes I guess- makes your feet look long- if your concerned about looking like you have huge feet as they fit fine as sized + likely a half size larger due to the long narrow toe box.

Update 6/2016 the last pair finally was tossed from wear and hard use- sole was worn and cuts in the leather toes. Held up fine enough to order another pair. I'm also giving them another star as after trying many others these still come out on top for fit and performance. Chippewa seems to make a good boot in wide also with the composite toe and leather if you'r looking for more of a logger but alas for more money.
