Dec 2022 update: these boots are still kicking! I work construction up and down ladders regularly and they have stood my test for over a year and half now. I wear them 4 days a week. The sole obviously is showing some wear, but no separation from the boot. The leather has held up well. I should be able to get another 6-12m out of them. Thank you Ariat.These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. So I have had them for almost a week. I will update after a month or two.But initial impressions are amazing. I have been in low voltage/construction for over a decade wearing safety boots about 70% of my on job time. Always laceup. My new boss suggested a pull on. But I wanted a boot that had the comfort of a tennis shoe. Did my research and bought these based on other things I read about Ariat.So far, I have no complaints. I ordered 12ee and they are a little bit big length wise, the the wide is perfect. I have a large joint going to my big toes and have had zero toe pain. I am extremely hard on the ball of my feet and these things deliver. And they are comfortable all day. Outside of getting used to a pull on vs lace up, they have been great. I am up and down step ladders on both completed and new construction floors regularly. When I get in my van to go home, it feels like I have been in a tennis shoe all day. That's how good my feet feel.I will advise buying yourself a good boot cut or over the calf sock as regular crews aren't tall enough. And a thin sock, such as a runners vented sock, is not thick enough for a real boot. Dickies makes a great boot cut sock with shin protection.
