This shoe is very comfortable. I thought I would have to break them in a little, but I wore them 8 hrs, on concrete, and had no problems. They are a tiny bit wider than I expected, but I just tighten the laces. Other steel toed shoes have kind of cramped my toes, but not these! There is plenty of toe room. They seem to be very well made. I hope so because I plan on putting many miles on them. So far I am quite happy with them.
