CAT Men's Second Shift Steel Toe Work Boot

Great boot. Combines comfort, support and protection without being to rigid or heavy. Size recommendation fit perfectly.

Due to the fact that I have serious Neuropathy in both feet, and my left foot is larger than my right foot, I'm always hesitant to purchase shoes or boots--any shoes or boots. And, I'm even more hesitant to purchase work boots without having the opportunity to first try them. So, it was with great trepidation that I purchased this pair of Caterpillar Work Boots. Nevertheless, I just sort of "let it rip." Once the Caterpillar Work Boots arrived, I tried them on, and wore them inside my house. Obviously, I figured if the fit was less-than-acceptable, or they hurt my feet, I'd simply box them up and return them to Amazon. Amazingly, not only did they NOT hurt my feet, they fit spectacularly well; and they were even comfortable. Now, I've purchased far-too-many pairs of work boots throughout my life to even attempt to keep count, and NEVER have I ever had a pair of work boots fit as well as the Caterpillar Work Boots. They are simply amazing--I have no other way to describe them. Since receiving these Caterpillar Work Boots back in February 2020, I've worn them a number of times; and when I've worn them, I've had them on for an extended period of hours. I'm serious when I say these Caterpillar Work Boots are even more comfortable than any of my New Balance athletic shoes. Due to my severe Neuropathy, my Podiatrist suggested that I wear New Balance athletic shoes. New Balance athletic shoes are supposed to be "the poor man's answer to severe Neuropathy." And, I do agree that they ARE for "poor men"; I wear New Balance athletic shoes because my Podiatrist wanted to sell me a pair of custom-maid Diabetic shoes at the very pricey sum of $1,050.00 (one thousand fifty dollars, and zero cents). Since my health insurance plan will not cover the custom made Diabetic shoes, and custom-made insoles (i.e.; inserts), also at the extremely pricey sum of $450.00 (four hundred fifty dollars, and zero cents), I'm on-my-own for modalities. Well, heck, wearing the Caterpillar Work Boots is so comfortable I just might make them my "everyday shoes." After all I'm a resident of deep-south southwestern North Carolina, way up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so around these here-parts, the Caterpillar Work Boots just might be considered "very down-home; and very, very stylish." Y'all never know! But, I'd definitely recommend these Caterpillar Work Boots: they're very comfortable; exceptionally durable (they haven't even begun to show the slightest bit of wear); they have a great safety track record; and they're quite affordable. And, if you doubt me about the "affordable" part of my review, just check the prices on some of the competitor's work boots. You'll be shocked! The Caterpillar Work Boots are definitely deserving of Five Stars!

Excellent quality leather. The boot also has surprisingly great natural support. Very comfortable and solidly made.

This is a very very good very tough work boot. I think they are great boots. I love them. I wear them every single day as I am a commercial Hollow core door installer/ manager. I spent a lot of time going up and down many flights of stairs and working on Commercial and Industrial job sites. The only thing I can say is that the soul is very thin. My feet would hurt after I was on them for a few hours. But I did buy a really good insert and I just tore the old soul out and put these in and I'm telling you right now probably best work boot I've ever had. So the boots plus a good $30 insole is the only way to go. They're tough, they're rough, and they take a lot of beating

Blows my old Ariats out of the water. These are cheaper, higher quality, and more heavy duty. The second you lay hands on these you can tell they're build extremely well. Buying a second pair to keep in the closet after I wear these to death.

Great boots! Good quality and very comfortable fit. Exactly what I was looking for!

UPDATE: After a year of roofing, mud, and miles, they’re still holding strong and when they finally wear out, we’ll be buying the exact same pair again. 💪 I bought these for my husband over a year ago, and they’ve held up amazingly. He’s a handyman and electrician, often working on steep roofs, muddy job sites, and in all kinds of weather, and these boots have never let him down. There was no break-in period, and even after a full year of use, the leather still looks great and the tread gives solid traction on slick surfaces. The steel toe and electrical hazard rating make them ideal for safety, while the nylon mesh lining keeps them breathable on hot days. He loves how they are semi-waterproof and keep his feet dry in bad weather. He normally wears a 9.5 wide, but we ordered a 10 and it fits perfectly — I’d say they’re true to size. Despite being rugged, they’re surprisingly lightweight and extremely comfortable. The biggest plus: he’s diabetic with neuropathy, and says these are the most comfortable boots he’s ever owned — no pain, no pressure, and great support. They’ve become his everyday shoes now, not just for work but for hiking, fishing, and weekend projects.

Great fit, worth the money. Comfortable
