V12V12 Avenger Safety Boots, Side Zip Safety Boots with IGS Sole, Unisex Lightweight, & Anti-Slip Boots, Composite Toe Cap, Cushioned Insoles- 12 UK

I have had these boots for nearly 6 months now and find them quite comfortable. I have had some boots that were agony to wear for the first month or so, that was not the case with these. They are getting more comfortable as they break-in, but they were quite good right from the start.I did initially find that it was a struggle to get the boot on and off when only opening the side zip, but that has become easier over time and I can quickly take the boot on and off without touching the laces.I always buy 9 1/2 UK size (44 EU) for all my shoes / boots but after reading all of the helpful Amazon reviews I purchased these boots in Size 9 UK (43 EU) and they fit perfectly.Overall I am quite pleased with these boots. Hopefully they will last a few years and then I would increase the review score to 5.

Gave me blisters

I use them for my work and they are comfortable

Nice enough for price paid, quite light compared to my Hansons but not as comfy out of the box. I have been wearing them a few months now and can say they are a pretty decent pair of boots and I would recommend them.

Durable.

These boots where good value for money and very strong

I have had thes for about 6 months and to be fair they have been ok, the boot is very light and we'll fitting around the actual foot.I have used these solidly in the time I've had them. I have (by accident) welded on them, bashed them, cut them, kicked more than a few heavy objects and soaked them in mud or concrete. Basically they have had some stick. The toes have shifted a little due to repeatative impact over time and some of the stitching has gone but otherwise they have held up pretty well. For the most part a solid work boot. Better than the boots o normally buy in this regard.However if you like boots that stay fastened. Then these aren't for you, if you move around a lot the zips drop and the boot becomes loose normally every 40 minutes or so. I have big feet and quite thin ankle and these boots are loose around the ankle and the laces don't tighten the gap without crimping and becoming uncomfortable. I have bought new boots because in the last few days the zips have failed, refusing to fasten and I've had to tape them up to make them stay on.To be functional they need a decent retaining clip on the top of the zip to stop them coming undone. Or get rid of the zip. Also I would prefer a bit more adjustability around the top of the boot as there is a good inch gap when the laces and zip are fully tightened.Otherwise a solid boot. If not for the failing zip I reckon they would have lasted a couple of months more as the rest of the boot is sturdy .

These were recommended by a work colleague and are absolutely brilliant. normally have them on for a 12 hour shift and from first putting them on they felt like a pair of comfy slippers. Only thing to say is get the size below the one you normally have.
