I am very satisfied with these work boots. They are slightly heavier than expected, but are still a lighter weight option compared to others. The fit is nice, but I went a 1/2 size smaller than I usually do because I had heard they run a little large; which apparently was correct. They took some breaking in and tightening/loosening to get the feel right, but now after a few weeks of heavy use they are one of the more comfortable boots I've worn. As you can see from the pictures, I work in a place that is pretty hostile towards footwear, so these have already seen significant use. The lacing system is very appealing and assuming it holds up through major use, it is probably the most pleasing aspect of these boots. I would highly recommend these to anyone who requires a safety toe shoe or even just for hiking/outdoor use.*5th star added 8/6/2020
