Working boots June 20, 2008
Reviewer: Holly from Bermuda
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Work in landscape/hardscape business need steel toe boots. Prefer mens fit as have a wider foot. Love the feel and comfort of the boot especially when first put on, really does not need breaking in. Used them on all Habitat for Humanity trips to build in various countries around the world usually end up giving them to one of the people we built for, last year left them in Brasil with Fernando the father who we built with for family. Love the color tan tumbled grain. Highly recommend these boots!

Good Workmanship. Lace-to-toe is good for volume changes in forefoot. Plenty of depth for an added arch support.

I was loooking for new boots for work, I am a size 16 and needed a steel toe. I saw these in the catalog and decided to try them. I am amazed how comfortable they are and am also amazed with the quality. They give a sure footed feel on all surfaces, wet or dry. They are well built and nicely priced!

Shoe Size: Felt true to size

The purchase of the Caterpiller Alaska FX Steel Toemarks the 5th shoe I've bought from SHOEBUY.COM, and I'm as satisfied now as ever before. The boot fit right out of the box, I get comments about how good they look, and they're REALLY surprised at how little they cost. Ordering was a snap, delivery was prompt, and they even send a return lable free with your order if you don't like what you receive. Buying something before laying your hands on it first has NEVER been more comfortable, I highly recommend you give them a try. Lionel from Denver

I do concrete work so I go through boots very quickly. These boots hold up very well. Because I wear a size 16 it is hard to find boots in my size. I wear this boot everyday and it fits perfectly.

Great Boot for the Price! February 03, 2006
Reviewer: Ed Love from Sacramento, California
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Ther are a few things in my life that I enjoy more than I should, or perhaps more than someone else would. Such is the case with these boots. I love the fit and looks of these boots; and after a short one day break in, they are one of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I had no experience with the Caterpillar Brand but I would certainly buy this brand again.
Wears this shoe: Hiking and every day use.

I have to wear steel toed safety shoes to work each day. These boots are actually so comfortable that I even wear them as a regular boot (not just work). I think they are very well build and as comfortable as you're going to find in a good safety shoe.

Reviewer: Matt Nelson from Atlanta, GA
Shoe Size: Felt half size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
It might just be that it was my first time buying a Steel Toe boot, but the boots seems larger than my usual size. It took some getting used to but after a few days of wearing them in they feel good. Still big, but i'm not getting any blisters. Also the boots rub off a brown stain from the inner material onto my socks or even my leg. It's kinda annoying and nasty.
Wears this shoe: at work 3x out of the week

Comfortable shoes but be ready to buy new pair in 10 months August 29, 2007
Reviewer: Chris from Atlanta, GA
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
These shoes are very comfortable but the bottoms are already worn out just after 10 months of use, so be careful if you do a lot of 8-12 hours of walking a day.

The most common customer comments were,

  • This boot is built with comfort in mind
  • Felt like wearing socks/ forgot I was wearing boots
  • Great traction
  • Warm boot
  • Most reported a great fit right out of the box, with very little if any break in time
  • Excellent arch support
  • True to size, with a few mentions of being a half size larger than stated
  • Several comments on width being wider than marked
  • light weight
  • The biggest negative seemed to be the duarbility of the boot, which suggests that the focus on comfort outweighed the design for durability
