Premium full-grain leather uppers reinforced with suede leather
Waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX linings
This plain-toe boot combines the incredible shock absorption and durability of our S.A.W. work boots with the light weight and all-terrain versatility of hikers. Strategically placed, incredibly soft foam in the heel and the forefoot soak up impacts and instantly rebound into the next step. An additional layer of shock absorption comes from the removable polyurethane footbeds and EVA midsoles. Premium full-grain leather uppers are reinforced with suede leather overlays on the side for extra durability in high-wear areas. The waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® linings keep your feet dry in wet conditions. External heel stabilizers and steel shanks enhance stability on uneven terrain. Lace-to-toe design ensures a superior fit. Padded collars and gusseted leather tongues. Oil-resistant rubber outsoles with aggressive lugs for superior traction. Imported. Height: 7". Average weight: 3.2 lbs. Men's sizes: 8-14 D and EE widths. Half sizes to 12. Color: Brown.
The break in period was rough, there very stiff brand new. Once broken in there as comfortable as slippers, and thats when wearing them 15 hours a day.
Water proofing is very good The rubber toe peeled off after 4 months but a little two part epoxy rubber and there just like new. The only reason these are not getting 5 stars is because they need to come in wider sizes.
But all in all they are still probably the best/most comfortable pair of work boots ive ever owned. I will deffinetly be ordering work boots off of Cabelas again. just wider ones
Ive been using the boots for work (construction) for almost 2 years ,its finally time for new boots the tread has worn out but they are still waterproof and comfortable. I think I will order the exact same pair again.
This boot is awesome. I have two pairs one for work and one for hiking. For work: -Amazing support -Amazing durability -Amazing longevity For Hiking: -Awesome waterproofness. (I have done many stream crossings and they are impenetrable to water.) -Great traction (Have hiked in all terrains/weather. And their great.) -Great warmth in winter and coolness and summer. -Awesome ankle support in rocky terrain. -Awesome for load support in backpacking. (I have used them on many expeditions and they work so well due to their steel shank.) *This review is the input of a very experienced hiker/backpacker.*
first impression when i took them out of the box was how sturdy they feel. these are not some girly light hiker. feels well put together with thick leather. break in wasnt bad, i wear them now 10-12 hours every day at work in the utility field. so far very comfortable and waterproof after 3 months. i do hope that they are durable, im always skeptical of glued on sneaker sole style boots, all in all im very pleased with them at this point
