WorkHog Patriot Steel Toe Work Boot

great quality and comfort.

I bought these about a year ago for the NASA workplace. They've become my favorite boots to wear everywhere, year-round. They're super comfortable and I do everything in them, including mowing the grass, tree logging, disaster relief work, going out on the town, to business meetings, etc. They even saved my toes one day, after someone had messed with my wire locker. I opened the locked and a massive spool of heavy wire fell out and bounced off if my steel toe. I never felt a thing and there was only a small tear to the boot's leather.

I'm a combat veteran, and I needed steel toe boots for work. When I saw these, I bought them without being able to try them on for feel and fit. I wore steel toe boots many years ago and hated their cramped feel and the feel on the plates in them, so I bought these based on my patriotic connection to them and the hopes that maybe that feeling would make up for the pain I was about to endure. Turns out that I haven't stopped wearing these boots since I put them on. I wear them for everything; literally. I made them my own and that's how I wear them to work, to mow the property, to cut down trees, to garden, to hunt, to fish, to party, to date, to walk to the mailbox... literally for everything._x000D_

I wear an 8.5M but have typically worn a 9, often a Wide, in running shoes, boots, etc to account for the usual swelling of the human feet with prolonged activity where one is on his or her feet. I purchased these in a 9D for the same reason and based on ancient history with steel toe boots. I would've been fine with an 8.5, even after hours on my feet. These don't exactly slip around, but when I'm running, there is a little movement in them, so my next pair will be an 8.5... because sometimes I have to move quickly instead of with a cowboy's ambling stride._x000D_

Literally my favorite pair of boots, ever... and I own exotics, like stingray, and decades of broken-in military boots, from jump to jungle to desert... but these are my fav pair!_x000D_

And just the other day, they saved my feet when I opened a locker and two heavy reels of wire came tumbling off the top shelf, along with some other metal tools, from a height of about seven feet. Aside from cutting a flap of leather back on one boot, there was zero damage to the boots. True story: my first and only thought and concern was about the appearance of my boots... because I'd already stubbed my toes on and kicked enough stuff to know that my Patriots would protect my feet._x000D_

That's why my boots get bling, even though they're for work in the worst conditions._x000D_

Also, boots looking good no matter where you go, is a Texas thing that I brought with me to Virgina and to NASA. Not everyone believes that, but they do all admire the boots! _x000D_
