Georgia Boot Men's 8" Loggers G7313 Industrial-and-Construction-Shoes

Excellent boot . Very heavy and well made . The size seemed narrow to me but I have hobbit feet. I returned the size 12 for a size 12 wide and the boot fits perfectly . THESE ARE STEEL TOE BOOTS ! That wasn’t clear to me in the description. The steel toe took me by surprise and at first it seemed like a negative but the more I thought about it the more it made sense to keep the steel toe logger boots . They are not crazy heavy like other steel toe boots I’ve had in the past . They are very comfortable straight out of the box and I wouldn’t have noticed they were steel toes if it wasn’t clearly labeled on the box and on the tag hooked to the boots . The size runs small (narrow) so I returned the first boots for the 12 wide . Steel toe boots ain’t gonna stretch so make sure the boot is comfortable with thick socks straight out of the box .The only issue I found is the first time I wore the boots for 10 hours there was a leather seam on the tongue that really really dug into my upper ankle on the inside where the tongue attaches to the main boot . This hurt and actually bruised my leg /ankle after walking for miles and miles all day long .I had to adjust the position of the tongue about two hours in to the day but the bruise was already there. The second day I wore these boots I was more careful with the tongue seam placement and the issue self resolved.No more issues since . The boots are very very comfortable and look great . I get compliments on them everywhere I go . These boots seem very well made and sturdy . Just make sure you get the tongue seam adjusted flat and not bunched up on your ankle or you are in for a painful bruise. After two days of break in I don’t notice any issues with that tongue seam . I likely caused the issue myself by not pushing the seam flat the first time I put the boots on . I just stuffed my feet in the boots and yanked on the lacing . Btw these boots come with a light tan color lace . … I don’t like the sharp contrast in color so I put some dark brown laces I had in my desk drawer in the boots and I’m much happier with the look.My wife says the boots look better with the light contrasting tan laces but I disagree. I felt like the yellow Iaces belong on clown shoes . Problem solved in two minutes with spare laces I had for my old work boots that I finally wore completely out . These boots are a replacement for my old Chippewa boots that I’ve beat to death for 10 years . I hope these boots hold up as well . They seem to be even better made than the Chippewa boots I finally wore completely out . We will see over the years .I give these five stars . Very comfortable just make sure you get that tongue seam flat and not all bunched up during initial break in .

I've owned various boots from various manufacturers over the years, including White's boots that a former employer provided. (I did not get to wear the White's for long as I had an injury that cut my time there short)These are functionally the same and just as comfortable, though they did take a fair amount of break in time. And yes, they did take longer to break in than my other two pairs of Georgia boots including low heel logger and low heel non safety toe versions like these.But what makes these stand apart from every other pair of boots (again, didn't wear the White's for very long) is the durability of the soles. The picture is 3 months in, and they're not even halfway worn through and they're not breaking down on the inside either. My other Georgia boots were pretty much bald by the same 3 months of wear. Keep in mind that I walk a MINIMUM of 5 miles a day, sometimes 10 plus, while carrying freight.These also have very, very good traction on ice, wet metal (equipment steps, etc), wood, snow, mud. The pair of Ariat boots I had were the worst traction I've ever had in any pair of shoes ever including dress shoes. The stitches and leather are also holding up very well despite winter weather and a fair amount of de-icer.I used to just buy cheap boots for a while and they'd MAYBE last a month to 45 days before they'd just get unbearably uncomfortable. These are less than halfway through their life after 3 months and still very comfortable. So, in the long run, they're cheaper. I do recommend odor control flat cushion insoles. Especially if you have feet like mine that sweat even in the winter.On that note, these are not heavily insulated, but still are not ridiculously cold in the winter with some good thick socks. And that was doing snow/ice removal in single digit weather. They also breathe fairly well for being quite waterproof.Bottom line, unless you need something specific like a fire rating, you won't get a better pair of boots no matter how much you spend.One last thing I've had issues with my broken pinky toes getting rubbed raw by other boots, but not with any of my Georgia boots.

I have, what I thought to be wider feet. I could only “try before you buy” the 10 1/2 regulars and thought I’d be returning them for the wider boot. I was wrong, the 10 1/2 fit perfect. Well made boots especially for the price point!

I bought these boots for my husband since he works climbing trees. He said the comfort was great on these boots and they were not too heavy for him. The only thing was that the sole on the bottom of the heel began to break off but other than that the boots are great.

Fantastic boots, comfortable, well made very good quality so far. I would highly recommend and fit true to size.

Very comfortable I usually wear them 15-16 hrs daily never had a problem . Comfortable to walk

These boots are great quality and feel great. I'm a climbing arborist and I love these boots. Fir the spurs well, keep my feed dry and look and feel rad. Highly recommend.

Great for working off a tower. Feet feel strong and secure.

These were delivered quick and I am happy with the quality.
