4.5
They fit perfect. Super light for steel toe. Didn't realize there was a cardboard pieces shoved way up inside to keep shape so I ended up wearing em with cardboard for a day. I know, I'm an idiot. Go ahead and laugh I had to as well. After pulling those out I couldn't be happier. Will buy again in 5 years when these are destroyed from my rough lifestyle.Love themI went to a local shoe / boot store to try on a pair of these boots to make sure I had the size right. I prefer to buy things locally if I can help it, but this store did not carry any other color other than the brown / green combo and I wanted black.I ordered the 10.5 and found the fit to be perfect. When coupled with a good pair of boot socks, the fit was absolutely perfect. The square toe gives my toes room without any bunching them together and the top of the foot area is snug enough to make the boot feel good, but not overly restrictive. The shaft of the boot does not fall down, but was quite irritating against my legs until I purchased some boot socks. This is by no means a fault of the boot.I wore these to work (office job behind a desk) for 11+ hours and never did they hurt or I feel a need to take them off. Today, I wore them to cut a 25-30 foot tree out of my front yard and again, they were comfortable and I appreciated having the composite toe in the even that a branch "went" the wrong way.The boot seems well made, sturdy, and so far, has taken every lick I have thrown at them. Of course they are only a week or two old, but have already broken in nicely and are my "go to" boot for just about anything. I am planning to buy another pair in brown next chance I get.UPDATE: 10-25-15So I have had these boots for a few months and thought I would give an update. A few months ago, we had a customer come to our offices and I ended up spending the day walking around with the customer. We went over concrete, gravel, and grass areas. After being on my feet all day, my feet hurt, but the boots held up fine. I normally work in an office (desk, nice, chair, etc.) so I guess I have become a sort of softy in regards to being on feet for extended periods of time. With some gel insoles or something of that nature, I believe these boots would have given me all day comfort.This evening, we had the remnants of Hurricane Patricia (we're in Southeast Louisiana) and my folding awning blew into the back yard. I donned a rainsuit and these boots. Trying to get the awning to collapse had be standing in 4-6 inches of water and these boots held up fabulously! I was in the water for about 10-15 minutes, and my feet never got wet. I would imagine that after an extended period of time, the leather would have given way to the water, but for the quick fix, they worked perfectly.Holding up decent su far.Everyday wear and tearSeemed to be oversize until I tried them on. Great fit, easy to put on/take off. Would recommend.Got these for a Christmas present for my hubby. He loves them, wears them everyday. He says they're waterproof and great for his work. 10/10 would buy again.I have tried to contact multiple times to get a new pair of boots because I was told there was a one year warranty. The heel of my boot is completely ruined and parts of the heel or continuously breaking and falling out. at this point the shoe is almost unwearable due to the damage to the heelWork shoes,kind smaller left side
