CAT Men's Second Shift Soft Toe Work Boot

Durable boot and comfortable. Will say the break in period was a little rough but an overall good pair of boots

Very supportive ankle. Comfortable soles.

Very well made. I especially appreciate the thicker sole. It is thicker than most work boots I have. Excellent traction. Feel pretty good although I haven't worn them much yet. The will work out fine. Good purchase.

Full disclosure: even though I'm a woman, men's boots almost always fit me better. This is mostly because I have a high arch, and men's boots that are the right size have room for an arch support, but most women's boots don't. Men's boots also have a little more room in the toe box, which I like. I was looking for a work boot for the yard, some light construction and those chores you need to do in knockaround boots. I ordered these, the Corax and the women's Lander. These boots are a traditional, substantial, heavy work boot. They do not have a steel toe or shank, but the thickness and stiffness of the leather will offer plenty of protection under most conditions. The shaft laces over the ankle and will give a lot of support at times when footing is uncertain. The boot fits true to size, for me anyway. The sole, stitching, finish and overall quality were terrific. In many ways, these were the boots I thought I was looking for, and if I was going to be wearing them every day they would probably have been the ones I kept. The reason I didn't keep them is because I'm *not* going to wear them every day. These boots are stiff enough to need breaking in--the kind you can only do if you're wearing them every day. I need a pair that are comfy out of the box, since I will only wear them on the weekends. But if you wear your boots every day, these will probably take a week or so to break in comfortably across the ball of your foot and around the ankle--the bendy places. I wore them about an hour and they were already a bit more flexible. In case you are wondering, I surprised my self by opting for the women's boot (the Lander) as a work boot. But even more surprising was the Corax--one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I literally did not want to take them off. I'm keeping them as well. (I'll review both of the other pairs.) Thanks, Caterpillar! A few days ago I didn't even know you MADE boots.

I've had CAT boots for decades (off and on). I was looking forward to this pair and bought them in my usual size (13). When I tried them on, I thought they were somewhat tight, but would stretch. I have spent the last three months trying to stretch them out. I've worn them for hours with larger socks, walked them dry two different times. While walking them dry has helped, they are still too tight in the toe box. Turns out that a 13 is too small. A 13 wide probably would have been better to a 14. I wish I could have tried on a 13 wide or 14 before settling on this pair. Unfortunately, because boots have to be broken in and this is mail order business, there really is no way to find out if they are the right size until you can't return them. My advice is to be sure the boots fits well right out of the box, with only minimal pinching. There will be some give, but not a whole lot and after a lot of time, effort, and discomfort. I also ran into trouble with the boot tongues. The left boot tongue would not stop slipping to the side. I eventually ended up drilling two holes in the boot, between the lace hooks, and sewing a sturdy thread to the side of the boot from the tongue. Give me a break. And the insoles are crap. I replaced them immediately with a $10 pair and the fit was much, much better. Negatives aside, the boots are very handsome; although some of the color has faded due to me walking the boots dry. I think I am going to bite the bullet and get a pair of Drew's Rowdy workboot. They're about $400, but the fit and comfort is guaranteed, and they are some handsome looking boots. I also have have them repaired for decades afterwards.
