CATFootwear Women's Echo Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boot

Just as my title states, these are, by far, the BEST boots I have EVER owned. I'm a horse person, and have gone through a lot of different types of boots. I've also gone through different types of steel toes in both an industrial, and retail setting... Of all of the boots I've ever owned, these are the most comfortable, the best fitting, and the most durable. I forget entirely that I'm wearing steel toes until I hear the solid thunk of my toe hitting something I ran into. I've had these for two months, and they do not look like they are more than a few days out if the box. I just cleaned them with my passier lederbalm, and was amazed at how they became better than they already were. These boots definitely can pass when you need a dressier steel toe. I wear mine with both black work jeans, and black dress pants. They play the part of both dress styles extremely well. The support in these boots is just right. Not too little, or hard, leading you to aches of all kinds. Nor too soft/giving that everything just breaks down, including you. I put my orthotics in, and still have a very comfortable fit. I have wide feet at the ball of my foot, long feet, long toes, and skinny ankles. For the first time, my foot isn't squashed, my toes actually have room without the shoe being too long, and my boot doesn't flop around or wiggle on my foot. CAT, thank you so, so, so much for creating this boot. Words cannot express the true depth of my gratitude. I have a comfortable boot that meets all the requirements I have/need for safety (I'm PIT certified), AND look amazing regardless if whether I'm dressed to carry a million tools, or I'm dressed to impress the 'suits'.*Update*The lining in my boots has completely worn through at the heel... I've only had them for 3 months...

Fantastic boot!Bought these for my daughter, who likes full-height boots while hiking for the ankle support, and for their anti-bug capabilities. The top of the leg on this boot has an Anti-chafe soft leather collar, which works well to alleviate discomfort where it rubs your leg. Steel toe protects your toes, and the ankle support is excellent. Note: due to the construction and height of the boot, expect to have to break them in gradually over several weeks: these are not buy-and-wear boots suitable for an immediate long hike. You will need to break them in gradually. Also, you should learn a boot knot suitable for round laces, or simply double-knot the round laces: they have less friction than flat laces, and will loosen over a day of walking without a more substantial knot.

These CAT purple work boots are so comfortable! The color is beautiful. More of a periwinkle or lilac purple. Very light weight. I almost don’t feel like I’m wearing work boots. Super durable. Love the ankle coverage. ANSI certified and perfect for all job sites. True to size.

These were larger than expected- but that's because many of the reviews said to order a larger size- which I did. So by "fit as expected"- I really mean order your normal size. I typically wear an 8 in a tennis shoe, 7 1/2" in a heel/flat. I ordered an 8 1/2. Which was too large. I think these make my feet look huge- but at the same time that could be because they are a little too big. And partly because of the steel toe. By the time I got around to sending them back for an 8 I couldn't return them. So I can't attest to how they'd look in the right size. Otherwise I think they are a good-looking and cute boot. With a thicker sock I can wear them comfortably.Two things- these are a light gray. For some reason in some photos they have a purplish-blue hue. They are straight gray. There is an issue with this- as other reviewers mentioned EVERY single smidge shows up. Stain proof, weatherproof these puppies before you step foot outside. I needed a steel toe boot for when I do plant walks- but the facilities are pretty clean. Plus I am a clutz- if there is a mud puddle I'll find a way to walk in it. If you're concerned about these staying clean and work somewhere that can be very dirty- I wouldn't suggest these. Order something in black or dark brown. For example- these won't be my yard work boots because I need them to look clean and professional for work. However they are VERY comfortable right out of the box. I ordered two Keen athletic-shoe steel toes- and neither was a comfortable as these. The Keens got sent back. These boots are made well and I expect they'll last a long time. I like the design and they're not too high or low on my calves. That's why the get a 4 star. If you order in the right size and are aware of the color limitations- you'll be happy.

I work in the tool rental department of a well known home improvement store. After soaking my feet a handful of times while cleaning tools.....and also dealing with big, heavy machines, I decided it was time to get a good pair of waterproof work boots. I got these and they are WONDERFUL!!! I've had them a little under a month and haven't gone home with wet feet aftet a work day since. They are definitely waterproof. They are also soooooo comfortable. There's good ankle support. Honestly, the best part about them is that they are safety rated and with a steel toe, but not at all bulky like most steel or composite toe shoes/boots are. As a female who has worked previous jobs that require steel or composite toe, it's hard to find a good pair of shoes/boots that meet the requirements without also looking like you have clown feet. These are pretty great. Comfortable....sleek for steel toe, waterproof, annnnnnd super cute!!! I've gotten several compliments on them because of the color.
