CarharttMen's Traditional Welt 6-inch Steel Toe Work Boot

Ordered 15Wide, product size was spot on.Boots look good, feel good, seem to be holding up well.Would but again.

These boots not only look durable. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I have been able to wear them in the mud in the rain with no leaking into the soles. I’ve tried many different brands of boots and most of them have problems with the souls, the tread detaching from the foot bed. Not with Carhartt

Overall a good work boot. Took a coupler days of sore feet to break it in. After it's broke in its extremely comfortable. I opted to remove the thin insole for a Timberland Pro insole I purchased through Amazon like a previous reviewer had done. The insole thast comes with the boot lacks quality. Carhart could improve there. The outsole is a flexible rubber which aids traction on slippery surfaces and also gives some to absorb some shock as a person walks. Overall would recommend to someone looking for a comfortable all day work boot.Update: After a year of hard use these boots are still holding up quite good. I've treated them with a waterproofing compound only once. I've put them through power washing and I've spent all day on concrete with them. The inside fabric is wearing through around the toe area. The timberland insoles are still like new and make this book comfortable. Overall would buy these boots again. Leather is still pliable and no tears or cracks even after getting them soaked and drying them on a boot dryer.

I just ordered a pair of 11 wide boots and am very pleased the toe box including the steel toe are wide enough for my toes. The weight and quality seem excellent. I will update the review after several months of wear.

I’ve tried a lot of different boot manufacturers through the years including timberland, redwing, thurogood, Carolina’s, etc and I’m very surprised by these boots. I gave them a shot because of the price discount around the holidays. At first I was skeptical of the leather. I’m a structural steel welder/fabricator and I beat the hell out of boots. So usually the leather rips around the flew point of the toes. But so far a couple months in and they haven’t shown any signs of real stress. Usually within the first month i have threads coming apart, doesn’t matter what manufacturer it is it happens. But so far I don’t have that issue with this pair. This boot does break in fast because it is a lighter weight boot. This is a good warm weather boot for sure. Not ideal for winter but I’m making due. Overall even if I paid twice as much as I did, they’d still be cheaper than a pair of redwings and they’re holding up just as well if not better than redwings.Update June 2023I’ve been wearing them everyday, even jumped trades from welding shop to HVAC work in the city. The leather still hasn’t given up like most boot brand leather does.The outter sole is beginning to loosen up a little more than I’d like but city walking is a bit taxing.

These boots didn't last 3 months. The stitching came out after 2. The fact that these have the Carhartt name on them should be an embarrassment to Carhartt. Waste of money and time.

Like most work boots, these arrived stiff and not terrifically comfortable. After a few days, they were broken in, and are as comfortable as any work boot I've worn. So much so, that I would sometimes forget to take them off after getting home.These boots are rugged, and well constructed. All the seams are double stitched, and critical seams are triple stitched. The soles of the boot grip well even when wet, and the texture on the soles does not tend to pick up pebbles or debris. I appreciate the steel shank in the soles, too. Not only does this help with fatigue, but it makes standing on uneven ground much easier. I regularly have to climb/stand on steel beams that are only a couple of inches wide, and this kills my feet in anything that doesn't have a solid shank in the soles. If you do any work on ladders, etc., this is a feature you can't do without.I recommend you buy the replacement insoles with these boots when you order them. The insoles that come with it are fine, but I found they had just a bit less arch support than I'd like. I have average arches, and the replacement insoles fit me better. Also, the heel cup and footbed are just a bit better padded. They absorb hard impacts and fight fatigue better, but they're not spongy or unstable. The supplied insoles are still quite good, and I swap out and use them sometimes.

I like that these boots are comfortable although I recommend gradually breaking them in before working a full day in them. I appreciate the standards compliance for these boots. The steel toe is strong yet provides adequate room and be advised I went with the wide version. The sole seems thick and sturdy. I walked around a factory across liquid-covered surfaces for hours in these and did not have any problems although it is always important to be very careful on slippery floors. These are the best shoes I have ever owned.
