ARIATWork Men's Groundbreaker Wide Square Metguard Steel Toe Boot

Very tight at the top of your foot. Took 3 days to break in. The meta tarsol is great for my job, but some pain endured during breakin. My recommendation is to soak boot in water with them on. I wear a size 10 shoe but buy an 8d because of my experience with these type of boots. I was questioning the size at first bit but now it fits perfect. The quality is very good.Pair #2Got a little over a year off last pair. I use a boot dryer. I ordered them 1/2 size bigger and bam, what a difference. They’re immediately comfortable. The only reason I bought this second pair is becausen the heal section was ripped out after using it for a year. I’m glad I did go bigger, I’m sure they’ll get loose quicker now but I was dreading the long break in I had on the last pair. 8.5d now. Happy with these & feel like I will always buy these, what a great boot. Covers all safety aspects I need at work. Again, I believe the boot dryer is a big deal. I’m a heavy equipment mechanic. I stand on concrete min 12hrs a day. I’ve purchased all kinds of boots. $600-$100. These are the best boot for my body, back doesn’t hurt, feet don’t hurt, good traction and control.

Bought as a gift. Nice boot. Good quality and great price

Don't waste your time on other metatarsal boots. Buy this boot. I've worn the same pair for 3 years of almost weekly 7 day work weeks inside of a steel mill and they are just now wearing out. The leather is tearing at the heel from taking them off and the sole is separating from the boot. These boots have been soaked in hydraulic fluid, riddled with steel grindings, exposed to heat and cold, and held up and then some. I've worn them hunting, fishing, and just about any other activity I needed boots for. These boots will last. They are amazingly comfortable and my feet don't sweat too much in them. Lightweight, roomy, and well cushioned. Trying desperately to find another pair in my size as they all seem out of stock right now. EE wearers these are definitely extra wide boots. I can't say enough good things about these boots and after the life this pair just had, I can't imagine how long they'd hold up in a less abusive environment. Will not buy any other boot for work again

Good pair of boots. I've worn the standard steel toe ariat square toe boots for years. A new job required met guards so I got these. Took a few weeks to break in the met guard part of the boot to get it to stop hurting the top of my foot but now fit great and are comfortable.

Excellent boots I have ever worn they fit me greatly and they’re easy to put on

This metguard is terrible!! It had my husbands back out for 2 weeks! These boots are very unforgiving and had we known the metguard would do this we would have never purchased. For the companies that require you to wear them I would find another job before my husband put his foot in another pair of these. What a waste of $200 and ariat won’t do anything about it. We will continue to wear twisted X. Once you wear them you will never go to another brand again!!

Good purchase got here in time real comfortable. Been having them for five months barely notice anywhere in tear. Definitely be going back to them when needed.

Always order the same boots for my son year after year. These are his working boots and are the only ones he will wear.
