V12 Footwear VR601.01 Bison IGS Safety Derby Boots, 9 UK, Brown

Very comfortable from day 1 and last better than other work boots I've had.

Had a few pairs of these boots over recent years and these are the most comfortable work boots I've ever had. You can wear them from the get go without worrying if they will hurt your feet till you break them in. The grips pretty good and being waterproof too. Good quality leather too. I'm a truck driver who has wide feet and these boots have been extremely comfortable

Bought for my husband as work boots. He needs extra support in his boot because of an op on his foot and these were recommended. They have proved to be really comfortable for him. I treated them with a waterproofing cream and they have proved to be extremely watertight too.

Fab for work

My husband is happy

Imagine a shoe [or boot] that is so uncomfortable and so painful that you can't even sit wearing them let alone begin to walk in them - and what was fairly obvious the second I had to get in the car to drive in them was that you might as well have 999 on standby in preparation for an accident waiting to happen. These are not an all-purpose boot by any stretch of the imagination - they aren't much of a boot at all if you can't even wear them.See, inside the right boot where the stitching [which I've become an expert in anatomy and discovered is the fifth metatarsal] meets the tongue of the boots just underneath the bottom inside lace hole is a nasty, nasty, nasty piece of fine Chinese craftsmanship where the leather, stitching and lace all simultaneously join forces to create what is commonly defined as 'total and complete agony' that is at its worse when you squat or bend your toes, and is mildly defined as a 'short term stabbing pain' on par with getting your foot caught in a bear trap when you stand up.Then there is the left heel which is no better, but oddly not the left fifth metatarsal.Is it my feet? No. Other shoes/boots are fine. Is it my socks? Nope. Will V12 do everything in their power to convince me it is anything other than these boots? Yes. They are wrong, however. As a result I'm sending these back as defective because nobody should wear these boots - in some prisons, I can imagine people are forced to wear them in direct contravention of some obscure UN human right.[No, this is not exaggeration. They really are that bad]I've never had a pair of V12s before and I took a punt - some good reviews [ignore that guy from YouTube - Ady something] at a good price but these are inexcusable. Do not buy these boots. Ever. Buy something else.Any positives? They're so sturdy and so austere that your feet will be forced to comply with them. If they do not, they will be punished. Severely. These boots are not worn. They wear you.

Hi. I ordered these for my boyfriend and within the first two weeks of him wearing them, the eyelet for one of his lace holes has completely come away. This shouldn’t be happening 2 weeks after being won. Is there something that can be done??

Would buy again, worn everyday on site and very long lasting.
