Very impressed at this pair of steel toe shoes.
Stylish,perfect fit,and comfortable.Great price
at $60.00.I will defenitely buy one again next time.

I am on my second pair of these shoes. I work in construction and find these shoes to be comfortable and like the steal toe on them. As another reviewer said, the sole does start to fall apart and split in a little under a year with daily use. I do mostly commercial construction and spend the days typically walking on concrete floors which will quickly take a toll on any boot. Although I wish the sole would last a little longer I still intend to buy these again when my current pair wears out. I would suggest buying good inserts for these as the ones provided do not give very much cushion. I found I needed to buy a wide insert to fit the inside of the shoe.

My husband has been using the Timberland PRO style 81016 as a work shoe for about six years. He buys two pairs each time and trades them off each day (no pair is worn two days in a row). They have ESD. They have a steel toe. They look nice enough for the office. They are very comfortable for the benefits they offer. They hold up very well for his type of work. If he has been testing prototypes in the field, they easily clean up with a suede brush and a little water. Daily switching between the two pairs gives him about two years of life for the shoes.

I've been through 3 pair of these and they do a fine job. They're comfortable but after about 8 months the stitching comes loose and rubber splits at the ball of the sole. They continue to dissipate an electric charge just fine, just don't step in any water puddles on your way out to the car. I wear my Timberland Pro's every day to work and I'm pushing it to get a years use out of them. Because the sole has split on every pair, I give em 4 stars.
