CATMen's Second Shift Steel Toe Work Boot

Comfortable, and look great. So many people compliment me on these boots. I don't know what it is, but people see these boots and there hormones go into overdrive. Not to mention they are durable.

This is a product that I found very satisfying in my recent purchases from Amazon. These are well made, the fit is excellent and comfortable without much break in. They are very good looking and the finish is almost dress shoe appearance. I am not a huge fan of the yellow name on them, however, I feel that since the quality is so good, Caterpillar should be known as a boot maker that also builds some nice machinery ! Buy these in your regular size, and buy with confidence.

These are very comfortable work boots with no need to have a break in period. Clean and condition annually and they will last years with minimal activity.The old pair in the photo is 3 years old, and still in pretty decent shape.

Mi sobrino está satisfecho con estas botas son cómodas para el trabajo y son de su preferencia a si que las volveré a adquirir otra vez

Beyond impressed. Fast break in, they look great. Durable so far. Comfortable. Excellent quality laces. No need to double tie them. The simplest knot and they hold all day. Absolutely buying again.

I bought these because I needed some great work/outdoorsy boots for an archaeology field school at Crown Point up in the Adirondacks last spring. I kid you not, I saw them on a list of "Shoes for Archaeology" and I chose them from there. They looked the least dorky out of all the shoes on the list. I'll say, I'm glad I chose them. They suited my needs almost perfectly.They fit pretty good. I have wide feet, and I felt they fit just fine, if not on the larger side. There is a break in period. But after they break in, they become quite comfortable. They're not bad to stand in, sit on, crouch in, etc. I would recommend them for job site stuff. They're pretty easy to clean, as their mad of mostly smooth leather. I got these things caked in mud, and a quick once over with a brush, wash cloth, and some polish makes them look damn near brand new. I will also say, these shoes can take serious abuse. I put these through hell, and other than the scratches you expect to show up on leather over time, creases on the toes, and the laces getting a bit fuzzy, there was barely any damage. They held and continue to hold up great. I also had a big ol' gash I got swimming in lake Champlain after a dig, and the boot had very reasonable support. Helped the wound heal pretty good. Oh, also, I like the way they look. They look good.Now, there are some cons to these boots as well. I believe it say they're water proof. This not exactly true. I did wear these in rain. My feet did come out dry. However, you could see the leather absorbing the water and getting all dark rather than repelling it. So, they do fine in wet conditions, but I'd advise doing a coat of something hydrophobic for your shoes if you want them to last. These shoes are built tough, and are HEAVY as a result. They're not egregiously heavy, but heavier than a hiking boot, and most other work boots I've owned. I wouldn't recommend these if you have to do a ton of walking on site, but if you do, you will survive in these. I did. Lastly, these boots have virtually no ventilation. They're not hot like a dedicated snow boot, but they do make for feet reek after a day of being in them. I had to keep them outside the tent.Overall, I'd recommend them. They're worth the price, especially if you take care of them after you but them through hell.

Great Product, amazing quality

Not the most comfortable for long shifts and after wear and tear. Good for 5 hour shifts. 5 days a week no more
