Cat Footwear Men's Second Shift Steel Toe Work Boot

Due to the fact that I have serious Neuropathy in both feet, and my left foot is larger than my right foot, I'm always hesitant to purchase shoes or boots--any shoes or boots. And, I'm even more hesitant to purchase work boots without having the opportunity to first try them. So, it was with great trepidation that I purchased this pair of Caterpillar Work Boots. Nevertheless, I just sort of "let it rip."Once the Caterpillar Work Boots arrived, I tried them on, and wore them inside my house. Obviously, I figured if the fit was less-than-acceptable, or they hurt my feet, I'd simply box them up and return them to Amazon.Amazingly, not only did they NOT hurt my feet, they fit spectacularly well; and they were even comfortable. Now, I've purchased far-too-many pairs of work boots throughout my life to even attempt to keep count, and NEVER have I ever had a pair of work boots fit as well as the Caterpillar Work Boots. They are simply amazing--I have no other way to describe them.Since receiving these Caterpillar Work Boots back in February 2020, I've worn them a number of times; and when I've worn them, I've had them on for an extended period of hours. I'm serious when I say these Caterpillar Work Boots are even more comfortable than any of my New Balance athletic shoes. Due to my severe Neuropathy, my Podiatrist suggested that I wear New Balance athletic shoes. New Balance athletic shoes are supposed to be "the poor man's answer to severe Neuropathy." And, I do agree that they ARE for "poor men"; I wear New Balance athletic shoes because my Podiatrist wanted to sell me a pair of custom-maid Diabetic shoes at the very pricey sum of $1,050.00 (one thousand fifty dollars, and zero cents). Since my health insurance plan will not cover the custom made Diabetic shoes, and custom-made insoles (i.e.; inserts), also at the extremely pricey sum of $450.00 (four hundred fifty dollars, and zero cents), I'm on-my-own for modalities.Well, heck, wearing the Caterpillar Work Boots is so comfortable I just might make them my "everyday shoes." After all I'm a resident of deep-south southwestern North Carolina, way up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so around these here-parts, the Caterpillar Work Boots just might be considered "very down-home; and very, very stylish." Y'all never know!But, I'd definitely recommend these Caterpillar Work Boots: they're very comfortable; exceptionally durable (they haven't even begun to show the slightest bit of wear); they have a great safety track record; and they're quite affordable. And, if you doubt me about the "affordable" part of my review, just check the prices on some of the competitor's work boots. You'll be shocked!The Caterpillar Work Boots are definitely deserving of Five Stars!

Durable, Comfortable, and Work-Ready BootsThese CAT Second Shift work boots are everything they claim to be and more. They not only look fantastic but perform just as well on the job site. At first glance, I thought they seemed larger than my normal size by 1 or 2 sizes, but once I put them on, they fit perfectly. The slightly bulkier look is likely due to the steel toe design, which adds about half an inch of extra bulk in the toe section.I added a padded insole for a touch of extra comfort, and now they feel amazing—like I’m ready to take charge as the foreman! The Climasphere breathable insole does a great job keeping my feet cool and comfortable, even during long shifts.The quality oiled full-grain leather and Goodyear Welt Construction are impressive, ensuring these boots are both durable and flexible. The T3 Rubber Outsole offers excellent slip resistance, and the steel shank adds much-needed stability and support.What stands out about this boot is that it feels like an Easter egg within the CAT lineup, most likely geared toward hardworking men who deserve a break while still receiving top-notch quality for their money. With added features like electrical hazard protection and the engineered nylon mesh lining, this boot delivers everything you’d expect and more. CAT really nailed it with this model—highly recommended!

I bought these for my hubby. He is a licensed plumber and HVAC certified tech, and is on his feet all day(and sometimes in the rafters lol), so he needs a solid pair of boots. These were a steal for just under $70. He loves them! He usually wears an 11.5 and these size 11.5 fit perfect. His foot is 29.5 centimeters. The size chart is accurate, so measure your foot! He usually gets tan color, but that color, same boot, was $20 more, so he settled for dark brown color. Well when he opened the box he was pleasantly surprised to find they look much better in person, not to mention they are pre-oiled so they won't stain. He had timberland pros and he likes these much better! Says they are super comfy. I must admit I'm really digging the dark brown leather much more than the tan, it looks good on him! They look expensive and have such a sharp, clean look. I will definitely be purchasing these again for him. Can you say quality? They're high quality! Better than timberland and craftsman, which are the two other brands he's had (and many pairs of them!). They seem to only last him 5-6 months and it's time for a new pair, but these are holding up great and I think he will get more wear out of these boots than he normally does. One thing I want to add is that these boots have a steel toe. Which is fine for spring, summer, and autumn seasons, but come winter he goes with either a fiberglass toe or soft boot, because the steel gets really cold! We live in Massachusetts and the winters can be brutal when you work in unheated construction, so cold toes is a no-no. Lol! Come winter we will check out Catepillar brand boots that don't have the steel toe. Great buy, high quality, definitely recommend.

Great boots. I don't write reviews until I've had time to thoroughly use the product I've have these boots for 6 months now and only now showing minimal wear from normal ship abuse. Laces still strong and tight soles holding strong feet are never wet either. 9.5/10 will buy again
