These are the best boots I’ve worn in a long time. Extremely comfortable and the sole will last you a lifetime.
Waldo D. 5/5 Verified
The most comfortable and toughest boots I've ever owned. They've been deep underground, in the ocean, in the woods... Well done excellent product. After 7 years the soles gave out. I guess it's time for a new pair.

I have been working in safety boots for 30 years. These are the most comfortable safety boots I have ever owned. Great product.
Burgert M. 5/5 Verified
I’ve been using these safety boots offshore for about a month now, mainly working long days out on deck. First thing I noticed is the comfort. They run slightly oversized, which actually works well for me, my feet don’t feel cramped at all, even after a full day on my feet. The sole is relatively soft compared to other safety boots I’ve used, which makes a big difference on long shifts. Easy slip on and off .....quick change when you going in an out of the accommodation and work area's. It’s still early days, so I can’t comment on long-term durability yet, but based on first impressions, I’d definitely recommend them to others working offshore.

I work on a mine and comfort with feet protection is key! The comfort of the boots are excellent and after buying 1 pair, the very next day I ordered a second pair. It's the best safety boot I've ever purchased. Keep up with good product

Being a mine employee and having to work in the field hours on end, comfort and support for my feet is key. I have different brands of safety boots, but nothing compares to your products comfort and strong quality. I purchased the 1st pair and after a day of wearing these boots, ordered a second pair. Unbelievable comfort and a wonderful product

Using these on an oil rig in Angola for a week now. Super comfortable and soft on the feet. Side zip is practical for easy donning.
Asief H. 5/5 Verified
I love this boot! So comfortable! And the zip, is a game changer! I found it slips on steel covered with diesel and wet steel grating but otherwise super comfortable! And did I mention the zip :p... Thanks for being on my feet...

The best safety shoe I ever owned. Very light and soft on the foot but durable. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Gerald M. 5/5 Verified
So far so good. The toe cap is larger than my old pair of boots but doesn't cut into the foot when kneeling down. I stood on a nail which didn't go through, passed that test. The waterproofing is great, they still breathe well too. I bought them mostly for their grip sole and they're great all round.
Mike H. 4/5 Verified
Best boots i ever had!
Anton V. 5/5 Verified
The most comfortable boots, I have ever worn. The soles feel like you are walking on mushrooms, and the zip makes taking them off a breeze. I am going to buy a pair in every colour!
