SkechersMen's Burgin-Tarlac Industrial Boot

I've been wearing these Skechers Boots for work for the past three weeks, and I'm already incredibly impressed. While three weeks might not seem like a long time, I'm on my feet all day, often in demanding conditions, and these boots have already proven their worth. Durability is clearly a strong suit. The leather is tough and resists scuffs and abrasions. I've even had a rather...unfortunate incident where I ran my foot over with a u-boat (long story!), and these boots shrugged it off like it was nothing. Seriously, not a mark. The stitching is solid, and the soles look like they'll hold up for a long time. These boots feel built to last.But what's truly amazing is the comfort. You wouldn't expect a boot this tough to be so comfortable, but these Skechers deliver. The insole provides excellent cushioning, and the fit was perfect right out of the box. There was no break-in period required; they felt great from day one. Even after long, grueling shifts, my feet don't ache. It's like walking on clouds, even on concrete. As someone with a metal plate in my ankle, finding supportive and comfortable footwear can be a challenge, but these boots have been fantastic. They provide great ankle support without any discomfort.These boots also offer great support. My ankles feel stable, and I haven't experienced any foot fatigue, even when carrying heavy loads. The slip-resistant soles provide excellent traction, which is crucial in my line of work.Overall, these Skechers Boots are an outstanding work boot. They're incredibly durable (I can personally attest to that!), surprisingly comfortable, and provide excellent support. If you're looking for a boot that can handle tough conditions – and even the occasional u-boat encounter – and keep your feet happy all day long, I highly recommend these. They're worth every penny, even based on my initial experience.

I buy these boots every 8-9 months or so for my stepson. I've never seen anybody so rough on shoes, but these hold up amazingly well! We had gotten him a pair of Ariat boots that a shoe store said he could never break. In 4 months the tightened busted & heel was coming off. I ordered these again and he prefers the support & fit of these. He says they've got good grip & the safety toe isn't obtrusive like in other shoes he's owned.I'm about to order another pair so we always have a backup pair ~ I'm really hoping the price doesn't shoot up. These are the best of all aspects: good price, not too heavy, supportive, grip well, and safety toe is comfortable. Keep stocking these please!

Boots are good. They really need a while to break in. I was not a fan of the memory foam insoles. I bought some copper insoles and what a game changer. Now they are broken in and comfortable to use for more than 10hrs a day of work.

So far so good. These boots are a little stiff. The sole is decent but not the best. You may need to add another comfort insert to get better comfort but like I said they are decent. You can wear pretty much through a 8 hour work shift with the insert that come with these and your want be too worn out (buy a companion insert for more comfort). Your feet will sweat in these. Make sure to buy the correct fit so your feet are not sliding around. I usually wear size 10.5 and bought size 11 and these fit just right. They also squeak when you walk. Just the leather hasn't been broken it. I've had these for almost 2 months and they still squeak. Anyway these are extremely great value for the price I paid ($39.99 on sale). I've bought $80 or $90 boots that weren't as good as these. The strings are okay, but last pair I had of these the boot strings broke and had to get a new set. Over all the steel toes are a plus working with heavy equipment. And the soles have great traction on wet surfaces (unless you step on wet leaves walking down someone's wooden ramp).

UPDATE to my original review:Ended up tossing these boots in the trash. As mentioned before, my feet have never smelled until I wore these boots for work. These boots somehow brought out the worst foot odor and you could never get it out of them. Of the 10+ pairs of boots and shoes I own (some 10yrs old), my feet have never smelled and they never smelled. Secondly, 2 months of trying to wear these and they have been the worst and most uncomfortable shoes/boots I have ever owned. Blisters and sore feet since day 1. They are so bad that I wouldn't give them to a homeless person.Their name was good when they first came out....but now, I am not sure. Here is why...1: Inside of the boot is cheap and you can feel the steel toe edge inside the boot on top of your foot. Very thin material and even had a crease in foot from this edge when laying on ground working for a while.2: Odor-accelerating insoles. I have NEVER...and I mean, NEVER had stinky feet problems until I got these boots. Within 2 times of wearing them they smelled awful of foot odor... Yet, all my other work boots and shoes have no odor at all. When I wear these for a few hours just walking around, you can start to smell foot odor from them. I don't know what or how this is possible, but when I change into my 14yr old boots I have no issues.3: Not sure what they tested anti-slip on...but these boots are the worst boots on wet surfaces or around oil or grease I have ever owned. They seem to absorb oils and grease and track it worse than anything I have owned. Getting on a ladder with them a little wet is almost asking to slip off a rung.4: Take a long time to break in. After blisters on heels and feet, they took nearly a month to break enough to not be so stiff... I work 12-14hr days on my feet and these boots broken in have to be taken off after about 8hrs or so and switched. They are so stiff and you feel every little edge and bump in these boots. I have a set of walmarboots for a 1/4 of the price that were some of the most comfortable and durable boots I have had aside from my expensive ones.Cheaply made, not tested properly, uncomfortable, has serious odor control problems, insoles flatten out within a week, and overpriced.
