The LUGZ Ballistic boots r far better than this shoe!!
344431
The (Lugz drifters low ballistic boots) are a lot better than these specific style boots. It's all in the material
I was hesitant to by that type of material boots. I Like the classic look but those boots are so easy to keep clean and maintain
It's the best material I've ever come across for work boots. There the Bomb U will not be disappointed

Not satisfied AT ALL with this pair of shoes.  It is pictured accurately and the design of the shoe is immaculate. The quality and materials use to produce this is HORRID.  1. These are not suede. They are microfiber.  2.  The straps that would cross the foot are not adhered by a snap, loop, or button; it's adhered by VELCRO! So imagine walking in these 4 inch high pumps, with only hardware store type Velcro securing your foot???  There should have been a zipper at the back of the shoe and those straps should have been stitch and secure on both side.  3. Furthermore, the Velcro is white, my straps seemed to have been a bit short in length, so once latching each strap, you can still view bits of the white Velcro througout the shoe.  I'm disappointed.  Sorrowfully this will be the one and ONLY time I patronize this company.

I would have never paid $80 for this shoe if I had the opportunity to preview them before hand.  So I now have to do is absorb this  loss and spend an additional $80 on a similarly designed shoe, that's masterfully made with real leather materials, by STEVE MADDEN.

Theses boots area horrible!  DO NOT BUY THEM!  I have worn Bates boots for years and have been very satisfied with them.  I thought I would try the ICS System and boy was that a mistake.  I work 21 hours shifts and within two hours of starting my shift my heals ache.  Instead of providing better support/comfort they do the opposite!  I feel every single ridge within the ICS system and it feels like I have rocks in my boots. Do yourself a favor and pass on these boots!

Merrell gets a bad reputation. I used to love it until the second pair of merrells just fell apart on me.
Spend a $100+ on shoes and get a product that doesn't even last a season? Gotta be kidding me. Chinese cheap stuff serves better!
I wore this boots only part time for about 3 months only, rotating them with 2 more pairs of boots also made by Merrell (I was such a fool to buy only Merrell's, thinking I am buying a quality along with the comfort and look). Yeah, boots are comfortable and breathable, look great until they just opened up on me like a tuna can when I was wearing them and realized that the shoe is loose.
No abuse on boots at all, no significant water waking, just everyday regular stuff.
I wish to get my money back from Merrell, don't even want another pair. I lost my confidence in the company that used to make quality shoes 4-5 years back as I started wearing them. First pair of bare foot shoes lasted me 3 years of nonestop use.
 This is a second pair, bought from Amazon that went bad very-very fast. 2 different kinds of shoes but same problem:
 -- the shoe sole just comes apart from the shoe itself. With the first pair problem I thought that is just a bad luck but not with the second pair now..
Unfortunately, I have the same pair of boots just diff color and it feels like driving a lemon, knowing that it's cost a small fortune and gonna break soon.
So, if I get another complement about this shoes, you probably get the drift what I would say about how I will recommend it to anyone ( and I got WAY too many good words from people about the boots!!!)
 - Just buy another brand people. I usually only read the reviews but this time writing one to maybe help someone to make a wise choice.

BY FAR the worst pair of s*** ive ever purchased online. Ive been in the food industry for over 3 years. the first 6 months i wore skate shoes. very heavily worn in skate shoes. which were amazingly confortable but offered very little in the form of slip resistance as they had almost no traction but it taught me to be very cautious when walking. I then starting having feet problems and decided to go with a slip resistant shoe. i bought this design but from airwalk. they lasted me well over a year before any issues arose and another 6 months before i finally caved in to buying a new pair. i couldn't find them but to my surprise i found these. from sketchers. a pretty well known name in the shoe industry. i felt safe in not reading any of the reviews and being that they were prime i got them the next day. i was so excited to get a new pair of shoes and laced them up and went into work. Instantly i knew i had made a terrible mistake. the slip resistant bottom slipped on an ice cube that had melted. so lets say a puddle about a silver dollar size. i went sliding across the room. i hydroplaned a solid 3 feet before being able to gracefully fall on my face. Fast forward a whopping 3 months. maybe. lets say 2 and a half for good measure. and granted i am a little hard on most of my shoes but theres no reason as to why these should be completely detaching from the sole to the top of the shoe. i have actually wraped the in duct tape as a solution. AND THERES MORE TRACTION from the slick duct tape than from this touted nonslip shoe. i can hardly beleive these can even claim any sort of slip resistance without there being a huge class action lawsuit of a total false advertisement. this is rediculous. never again will i not do my research even if it is just scrolling down to read the reviews. though i never thought id have to do that for a simple work shoe. shame on sketchers and shame on this shoe

I am stunned at all of the 5-star reviews of this shoe.  I could not have been more disappointed.  Two miles into my hike, I was almost in tears and wanted to throw them into the woods.  My feet felt like they were on fire with knife stabbing. The problem is that they are like walking in encased cement.  No cushion.  Terrible.  9 hours later and my feet are still throbbing!  I am only glad that our hike today was a low to medium level hike.  If it wasn't pouring rain, I would have taken them off and walked barefoot.  SO DISAPPOINTED! Give me back my Brooks Trail runners!

I own the Scarpa Mojitos and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had, which is why I wanted to try these hiking shoe. They are packaged back up and being sent back.  Ugh...

***Edit*** 4-13 These shoes have gone far downhill. I have worn them probably a total of 12-15 times and the bottom has completely crushed in. The heel portion has caved in through the insole and is splitting inside so that my heel is now lower than my toes. I peeled up the insole and it looks like the entire sole is basically hollow so you slowly push down through the insole and sink. I'm 6'1" and 175lbs, not over weight in the slightest. I'm truly disappointed in these shoes. The lack of quality is astounding in comparison to pairs I have owned in the past. I'm too far out to return them so I got to wear some lovely but poorly made shoes out a few times for my money. Complete crap.

11-12 Now I get to play the part of the aging punk rocker shouting about how "in my day..." Okay, not quite. These shoes are still the most stylin', most comfortable shoe to let people know you're a little different but... The pair I got were not perfect. In one of the shoes, the stitching around the toe was pretty far off from centered. Kinda makes it look like one of my feet is sticking off to the side all the time. Also, when did TUK start using shoelace instead of leather for the toe stitching? I know it is minor but it is also a knock against a great shoe. Either way, they are no longer made in U.K. and so what do you expect from a far too young asian boy working in a sweatshop for slave wages. Try not to think about that when you're strutting in your brothel creepers (proper name of the style of shoe).

i am normally a New balance fan, but the 1080V4 is a big disappointment due to the quality. I have had to exchange it 4 times in under a month!!! The first time the sole came off after a single run. The next 3 times the meshing on the toe are tore within a run or two (i am 195pounds and run at a fairly reasonable pace (10K in 50 mins) - the shoe just does not seem to be able to last more than 2/3 runs!

i wish the comfort, fit and the feel of the shoe is matched by quality

Firstly, the boots have a giant wellco logo on the heel, the boots pictured on the products page do not have the logo. This means i cant wear these for work as they are not plain black boots and i wouldnt have bought them. Second, qc is crap, the drainage holes are in different positions on each boot and when wearing the boots it is quite apparant. The leather upper is glued in place and has slipped out of position before the glue has set. Just get the cheaper chinese brand jungle boots they have better build quality!

My favorite shoes are all my MBT's.  So I was very excited about getting a pair of these boots for Christmas!  But, I was very surprised by how poorly the construction is on such a very expensive boot!  They fit me just fine, but since there is no tab covering over the very long zipper, the bare metal, scratched and bruised my leg after wearing them for only a few short hours.  Not even putting on long socks to cover the zipper worked!!  Unless they improve the design, I would not recommend these boots to anyone!!!!!

1. The look was pretty cheap when I recieved it.
2. It hurt like hell! I've been wearing high heels all my life and most killing ones as well, but this was the worst!
3. Before getting the new black heels, I decided to wear (and suffer) these ones anyway. I drive a car with them and after 2nd wearing the back of the shoe was somehow damaged... usually, on my genuine leather shoes the car damages the backside of my shoe in a different way.. as if the color is changed. In case of these shoes, the part of the "leather" came of as it usually does with the synthetic one.

Not Recommended, even if it was for free.

These boots suck!! They are tight , hurts your feet and feel cheap.  I would go with another UA boot.

I have a wide foot and wear a 11.5 EE.  I also own serval brands of boots all of which fit very comfortably in that size.  I have owned Justin boots in the past and they were well made.  These boots however are terrible!  I placed them on the boot sizing chart that I have and they are not a 11.5 EE. Not even close.  It looks like they took their average size width and just stamped it EE.  The other thing is the quality is way below the previous Justin boots that I have owned, which were made in the USA.  These look like some cheap knock offs made in Mexico.

I bought these shoes here a year ago. I had to track this on amazon and write a review because product is not what it once was.  And as anyone who has owned blinnys know, these shoes get better with time. I am not a young man  and have owned 3 pairs before this one, had them since I'm 18. Unfortunately this recent pair never seemed right. From the bother on the heel to the stiffeness of the boot that just wouldn't get better with usage. The look is still the same classic timeless amazing. But the comfort is not right. And they are getting damaged real fast both on the sole and the toe. My Blundstones have become throwaway shoes ! And upon closer inspection I realized that my old ones said made in Australia and these are made in Vietnam. I myself had to help my company move production from Canada to Thailand and it went seamless. Clearly Blundstone did a poor execution here with material sourcing. They lost the one thing that truly separated this product from the herd....durability. How very cruel for us lifelong Blundstone fans !
 2 stars for styling

Bought these for my son for Christmas as a replacement for the Ariat Men's Hybrid All Weather Steel Toe Western Cowboy Boot which I got for him last Christmas.  The ones from last year had to be replaced because of holes in the leather @ the steel toe -- these wore out WAY too fast.  So I thought I'll buy these with the reinforced toe -- they cost at least $100 more than last year's, but I thought it would be worth it in the long run.  WRONG!!!!!!!  My son just texted me today and said these boots are not waterproof as claimed!!!!!  It has recently snowed a lot where he lives and he says everytime he gets in the snow his feet get soaking wet!!!!!  I really hate I spent alkmost $300 on a pair of boots that can't even keep my son's feet dry!!!!!  This is ridiculous -- would love to return and get my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worse pairs of shoes! My son only wore them to play at the park for 2 hours.

Absolutely the biggest disappointment ever in footwear. The soles are make of a hard, slick plastic-like material that feels more like the hard  plastic they make truck bumpers from. Walking on a hard surface like tile, linoleum or finished wood is like walking on ice. I almost fell when I took my very first step on my hardwood floor. The are so stiff they won't flex while you are walking. The fit is good, however but not enough to make up for the cheap plastic like soles. They were advertised as brown in color, the photo in the listing showed a brown boot and the box they came in said brown and pictured brown boots but when I opened the box, they are black and a horrible cheap looking black at that. I have owned and worn Timberland PRO boots for many years and these boots are a disgrace to that name. I've seen much higher quality boots at 1/3 the price in the big box discount store. I am glad that they offer free returns because these are going back first thing in the morning.
