The steel toe obviously does not give like the old leather toe on these shoes used to do.  This is somewhat difficult to wear for an elderly person with diabetes.

I have worn the same style Irish Setter Wingshooter boots for over a decade now. I buy a new pair every year or two as they wear out and can no longer be re-soled. I have always enjoyed getting my new pair as there has never been a break-in period required and I consider them more comfortable than tennis shoes. My most recent pair I bought from Amazon were a bit different. For starters, the model number has changed. I called the company to find out why and was told that they changed the material of the sole and liner from name brand products to comparable off brand products. I see, however they were able to retain the same price so that's nice for them. I purchased anyhow and when received and inspected was pleased. Everything looks the same. However in wearing them the first time I noticed that they feel stiffer and narrower than I recall (from my previous 8 or so pairs). The toe seems much too narrow and in comparison to my last pair, appear to be narrow. This is more so on the left boot and after only about 5 hrs wear my toes were aching from being jammed together. Additionally the sole seems a little less flexible too and the upper seemed stiffer too but not to the point it hurt my feet or calf like the narrow toe area hurt my toes. It is just disappointing that I now have to break in a boot that I used to brag about not needing to be broke in. Now its either back to the store to see if I can find a boot widening device or just live with the discomfort.

The clark shoe does push toes forward and no adjustment to heel strap and this shoe is not real leather. The Clark brand shoe was at one time the best, but now quality is compromised. I did enjoy the price but would rather pay a higher price for better quality  like old times.

I have worn this shoe in the past but this version is different.  The toe box is much narrower than previous pairs I now own.  I returned for a refund.

boots are really nice, however I looked several times and never once saw where they are steel toed boots.  I am returning them based on that.

I got these shoes about a year ago. They still aren't as comfy as my other Birks. I feel like the cut is off or the leather is different. One shoe still bothers my second toe which has never happened with any of my other Birks (which were bought in store). The strap is on the last setting yet I need more space (give). Its weird. Either the quality Birkenstock has degraded or I got fakes.

Since Doc Marten has shipped it's production overseas their quality has dropped. The trademark yellow stitching is gone, replaced by dyed stitching (pair I received the toe of the left boot wasn't dyed and the stitches were a bright white compared to the rest which were dark brown). The leather felt more like pleather and the soles were very thin.

I bought a pair of Doc Martens in 1998 which I've worn regularly for almost 16 years and was hoping these would be able to replace them, I doubt that even with proper care these would last more than 2 years.

I'm sorely, sorely disappointed.

The toe was a little too pointed to be comfortable.  I'm a little too old (81) to go through the breaking in period that I used to do when I was much younger and working.  Therefore, I am returning them for a refund.  I wore Hush Puppies for many years when I was working, still have two pairs of well worn shoes in my closet and will gladly recommend them to others.  Thanks.

Bought these for a work requirement and I didn't want to spend a lot of money.  I've been wearing them everyday for about 3-1/2 months.  They are fine now, but yowza! they were SO uncomfortable for the first 2 months.  Feet in pain, the kind of discomfort that spreads to your knees, hips and back.  They have NO arch support whatsoever and it took this long for them to break in and conform to my feet.  All that being said, now they have broken in, they feel fine.  They are lighter than most other steel toes I had looked at.  They don't rub and chafe at the heel or around the toes.  I'm not sure if I would buy them again, but if I did I would get an arch support and possibly a cushioned insole for them.

Built for comfort but the toe was too square and the leather quality make the shoe feel more like a sneaker.

The picture makes the shoe look like it has a "boxier" toe rather than the "pointier" toe that it actually has. I have wider feet and generally need to buy a size or half size longer to get a comfortable width (in any brand of shoe). I was shooting for a rounder, broader toe design which is more comfortable for me, and I feel that the pictures of this shoe didn't accurately depict what I received, in that one detail. Otherwise, "the shoe fits." So I am wearing it.

Beware!  These boots come steel toed which is not mentioned in the description.  My husband almost wanted to return them for that reason alone.  The fact they are insulated will help offset the cold toes that steel typically makes happen.  Otherwise for the price they appear to be well constructed.  And he likes the fact that the soles are a softer rubber instead of the hard rubber that is typically used for oil resistant material.  I would have given these boots a higher rating except for the steel toes.

Nice shoe, not the same quality of leather as in the old days (five years ago) when Blochs were the best for leather.  The pre-sewn straps are OK, the performance is good, the soles break in fast.  Note, when comparing these to the Canvas ones, the sizing is different.  I wear a 10 to 10.5 and find a 12 or 12.5 to be good.  Foot width has a lot to do with it also.  The usual stuff.

I got this for my husband and he did not like the steel toe box, as he said that it was too uncomfortable.

If you do a lot of walking and kneeling these aren't the boots for you the steel insert causes the leather to flex cracking the leather just behind the toe

This shoe is not what I had expected.  These do not have steel toes, even though when I searched for steel toe they were listed in that category.
