HISEA Men's Steel Toe Rain Boots PVC Rubber Boots, Waterproof Garden Fishing Outdoor Work Boots, Durable Slip Resistant Knee Boots for Agriculture and Industrial Working

These are solid boots. Are they perfect, not at all. But, I've worn them daily for chores around the farm for just over two years and only just now did they start to crack along the top where they flex (see photo). I will be buying another pair to replace them. These boots are waterproof, mud proof, easy to clean, easy to slip on and off, and have padding in the bottom that makes them comfortable to wear for hours at a time. These boots have seen it all on the farm - and survived for way longer than the price tag would imply. Two years of daily abuse as my primary "go out to the barn" boots and my "this job is going to be gross" boots" and I still prefer these to other more expensive brands that I've had in the past. If you can't tell, I'm impressed. My only gripe - they get hot. Don't wear them without socks since they are waterproof and your sweat will just pool in them (but again, they are waterproof so that makes sense!). Also, not a gripe but something to know, these are not insulated so they get cold in the winter - nothing a heavy pair of socks won't fix. If you're looking for excellent muck boots at an amazing price that will last the average person a lifetime (or a farmer 2 years), look no farther.

Loving these boots! Bought them for fishing in tall grass\shallow water to avoid ants, snakes, and chiggers. A rattlesnake could probably get through but more of a "piece of mind" thing haha. I usually wear a 12 wide and the 12's fit perfectly with ample room for thick socks if necessary. Great purchase!

The shank really works and the hard toe doesnt destroy your feet. Will say they are heavier than pairs without the protection.

There is a lack of options for these type of boots for women. Ordered these in a 7 men's (I am an 8.5/9 women's) and they are a little large, but I wanted it that way for ease of slipping on and off and ventilation, with the added option of heavy socks if used in winter. They came with a "lifetime guarantee" also. So far they are comfortable and ideal for my purpose- walking through wet garden soil, tall weeds and branches and protection from prickers and insect bites, poison ivy around ankles clearing rough underbrush and weed whacking. For a difference of $2 from a "prettier" women's rubber boot offering no toe protection. If they ever offer a women's version and/or more color selection or designs at this price, I'd snap them up.

I used these for 2 days as a volunteer for an organization helping flood-damaged homes in National City, and they worked well. Having read other reviews, I will attest that these boots run on the large side which was okay since I have wide feet. I generally do not prefer boots outside of work situations, so to help with this, I wore boot socks as well and I got along fine in those 2 days without problems. If I were to have any criticism, it's that that between the steel toe protection and the rest of the shoe, there is very little support structure to the shoe. Where this is noticeable is when you have to lift your heels more than 45 degrees or so while keeping your toes on the ground - the middle part of the top of your foot can get pinched or becomes uncomfortable. This is because the underside of the boot will lift and force that part of your foot to press against the steel toe support. This may also cause, over time, the steel toe support to possibly tear through the boot, but I will update that if this happens. In the meantime, I will just limit how much I do this type of movement. The padding that is inside the boot is comfortable, but as another review has mentioned, I agree it is not built for walking great distances or fast. I am happy to report that I usually get cramps in boots because of my flat feet, but I didn't have that problem at all with these boots. I would highly recommend these boots for muck work, which I used them for. It's nice to also be able to simply hose them off at the end of the day to get them TR clean. Thank you for reading!
