I bought these 6" boots specifically for summer, as they are lightweight compared to my Red Wings. Also, the side zipper has made putting on the boots a snap. Pros: Lightweight, durable and comfortable. Cons: Hot and the zipper on one of the boots wore out in less than a year. I paid around $85 for these so they aren't a lot of money. I could have stopped using the zipper, but the ease of putting the boots on was one of the attractions to purchasing them. But as for what I used them for which was working on construction sites, I'd rather spend $150 for a pair of 6" Red Wings that will last me for many years.

Awesome Boots! Works great in the desert and very comfortable, Feels like you're wearing sneakers at work. The zipper on the side makes life so much easier after a hard days work.Highly Recommended....

Got a pair of these excellent boots, and cant be happier with their comfort, durability, looks, and price!
The only prob was that the color of the soles of two single boots slightly differ from eachother, but No big deal for such work boots!
Be advised that the size chart have 2 different sizes for each number (M for Medium and sth else for Large). Medium fits fine unless your feet are really large.
Lastly the zippers are hard to pull down and up, but not harder than to tie laces:))

Wife got me these for work and they are comfortable out of the box. A bit heavy maybe but surely lighter than steel toes. Feels sorta like a hightop tennis shoe. Got them for the zipper feature, as I'm in and out of customers houses, but find it awkward at best...easy to get off but hard to get back on. They are only a month in or so and that might get easier. Not quite a five but an easy four. My .02

This might be the most comfortable pair of work boots I've found yet. I use them as my "dress" boots, often for 14 or 16 hour days on my feet. I'm gonna order more now, just in case they get discontinued.

While around the house I wear Crocs most of the time but I like to walk. My favorite walk is the 3 miles from my home to my wife's office. No sidewalks, desert plants and animals that cause discomfort, tiny infiltrating gravel, and bad feet all led me to purchase a pair of these wonderful Converse boots. I hate tying my shoes (hence the Crocs) so the zipper is my favorite feature. It is smooth and effortless providing the ability to get these boots on and off my feet quickly and easily. The soles are very strong and the entire product seems to be very well put together. I've put over 30 miles on them walking along the road, cutting across the desert, and wearing for day to day activities outside the house. They are comfortable and pretty scuff resistant while providing excellent support and traction. I couldn't ask for more from a shoe/boot.

There has been one small problem with the boots in that I developed a dime size, but very deep blister on my right heel about 3/4s of an inch up the side of my foot. It has healed pretty quickly but I added some high tech anti-blister pads to the boots to prevent another episode. Maybe that actually makes the boot a 4.75 Star Product but that setting doesn't exist so they are still a 5 Star item for me.

these are great, recommended by a vet who wore them in Iraq, they are great, wore them snowshoeing and on long hikes, now I am wearing them to work they are so comfortable, love them

My son wears these and is on his feet all the time with Homeland Security. I bought the boots at his recommendation.

I wear them 8-10 hours a day and walk a couple miles in the process. Comfortable for me. The insoles aren't fitting exactly the same on each foot though. That means each boot feels different, but I only feel that for two minutes each day when putting them on. Easy to clean the soles when you get int some mud. I like the zip feature. No regrets.

The only thing I don't like is the appearance of the leather after some exposure to dirt and the elements....Probably not a fair report for a work boot. :)

I purchased these boots over a year ago and they were a great value. I'm a merchant marine officer and work on steel decks all day and the soles of these boots have shown little to no wear since I purchased them. The composite toe makes them very light. They do not transfer heat or cold since there is no steel in the construction. I use them with aftermarket insoles (for arch support) and they are very comfortable. The only fault I have found is that they are not waterproof. Water does come through the venting on the sides. Then again, this venting makes them very comfortable in hot weather.

I've worn these boots on ships from the Persian Gulf to McMurdo, Antarctica and would recommend them to anyone. The only reason I am replacing them is that I forgot them on my last ship!

These boots are hurting my feet, the tread on the bottom of the boots can be felt on your feet. They are causing the ball of my foot to swell. I bought these boots for use in Iraq and are very disappointing. I walk about 10KM every day and had to switch back to my old boots and order a new pair. This was a $100.00 mistake, and a painful one at that.
