DDTX Men's Lightweight Metal Free Toe Penetration Resistant Midsole Work Boots Ankle High Safety Shoes Black US4.5-13

I bought these to use for disaster recovery work. After reading reviews that said they run a little larger than expected, I ordered a 12 for my 12.5/13 EE foot. They fit perfectly with enough room to be comfortable. They held up excellently over broken glass and debris. I had a portable generator roll over the front of one of my feet and I survived without a dent in the shoe. They are lighter than the all metal shoes. The cushion inside is very comfortable and you hardly notice you are wearing safety shoes. They are not water proof, but faired well when in the rain and when liquids spilled on them. Overall, the shoes held up and I would recommend them.

How I made my choice:It is not my preference to shop for footwear online because you don't know what you're getting and returning the item is a pain in the butt. After an extensive search of the stores within a 30 mile radius of my home I found that no stores had a good selection of boots, let alone in my size. That being said, Amazon was my last hope of finding a pair of boots before settling on whatever I could find. I was looking for an inexpensive pair of composite toed boots size 13 US and found a few in my price range. Immediately after seeing the picture of these boots I knew I had to buy them. Being a wise person, though, I read reviews and product descriptions to decided which to purchase. My choice came down to two pairs that were only $5 difference from each other.The boots themselves:I must say they are some sweet-looking boots. I have not had a chance to wear them yet but just trying them on they fit as expected. My job requires me to be on my feet long periods of time a day on concrete floors so I have to use padded insoles. This means I have to buy bigger and lighter boots, which these boots fit both requirements. Upon first impression they seem to be really good boots but only time will tell. With over 15 yrs of boot buying experience these seem to be in line with some of the better boots I've bought in the past.

Update 10/19/20I purchased another pair of these boots. Everything i previously wrote still applies regarding comfort & size. My first pair has held up so well, i decided to buy another for future use.Update 7/29/20I am completely satisfied with these work boots. I am going to buy another pair for next year.I received my order sooner than promised, Thank you Amazon! So far so good after a week of daily use. These boots are unique in style and color. I like the bright orange on the sole and black & white pixel design on the heel. I am however a little disappointed with the worn down look on one of the boots. It looks like someone tried to scrub it clean and removed some of the design. I would exchange them, but at the moment i was in great need of new work boots. I like the composite toe as apposed to the steel which caused toe pain and until now, i had to go without this safety feature. The size 7 men’s offers ample toe room. I wear an 8 women’s & might have been able to wear a half size smaller, but i am so used to wearing a size 7 out of unavailability for women=men sizes. I really like the no tie shoelace, making the on/off easier & safer for this aging lady. I did have to use a pair of padded orthodic inserts for the needed arch support and added to the built in cushioning which eased the long days on my feet. I will give an update if i have any issues later down the road. My job requires a lot of quick movement, If i can get a good year out of these,i will buy from this company again.

Decent toe protection with no metal so you don't have to remove them for metal detectors. The laces are garbage and broke within a couple weeks. The shoes held up through heavy use and abuse for atleast 4 months. (My career is very rough on shoes and I've had $120 timberlands that only lasted a week.) They are lightweight with decent but not the best grip. There is no ankle support. There is almost no interior cushioning but they are still very comfortable for work shoes. The only con that will prevent me from purchasing these again is that the shoe interior is too short so there is not enough space for custom insoles unless you remove the included insole and that exposes stitching and a rough surface that will disintegrate gel based insoles (Dr.Scholls) and possibly damage harder, more expensive inserts (GoodFeet).. If there was more interior height in an updated version of these, I would buy a few pairs but as they are, I wouldn't purchase them again. If you don't use custom insoles/inserts, then I highly recommend these.

I am on my feet and running around on concrete all day. My feet normally are so sore that I can barely walk after work. With these, I have very little pain at work or after!! They are so light on your feet. I normally wear wide shoes, so I worried the composite toe would dig in on the sides. Didn’t feel them at all! Well worth the money!! And I get compliments on them all the time! Great looking shoes

I work in a quarry so initially I bought these shoes because safety shoes are required! However after receiving them I find myself leaving them on after work to run to store, walk dog, etc because they are so light and comfortable! I’ve only worn them a few months so I can’t comnent on durability but so far so good!! My only issue is they seem somewhat tough to get on and off because of the lace design.

I really didn't expect much from these shoes because of the low price. I have to say these work boots are simply outstanding and wide. I just bought a pair of 300.00 work boots that were the most uncomfortable boots I ever used for work...thank you China for this light weight and great craftsmanship low cost boot...

I needed a composite toe shoe for work as our building has metal detectors and we can't bring steel toes in. These keep my feet pretty safe. They fit well, support well, but they're not very slip-resistant. I've dropped close to 50-60 lbs on my toes and haven't felt it. The soles are thick. In fact, I stepped on a 1-inch long metal tack and never felt it. Only discovered it when I got home. Would recommend, especially at the price.
