I bought these boots for My husband who works in the state highway. He goes out and I’ll kinds of nasty weather, especially snow and rain. Since he’s diabetic, he doesn’t like to get his feet wet as it can cause infection. He wanted rubber boots, but According to his job rules and regulations, he has to wear steel toed boots. It’s hard to find any in the regular stores, so I turned to Amazon. I found these and he could try them before we buy them. I told him to try them on and let me know if they fit right away because you only have a week to decide. he tried them on and said they fit perfect. He said they look just like the Muck boots only with a different name and a much better price. He could not wait to take them to work this morning. By the way, just like other reviews have said, these boots are wider than the normal boots. Since my husband wears wide in shoes and boots, it could not have worked out better.
