Timberland PRO Men's 54567 Endurance 6" Titan XL Alloy Toe Boot

I would strongly recommend the this pair of boots, and will be ordering another pair after deciding it is time to retire my current pair. I am a size 10.5 and initially ordered a 10.5, they fit perfectly. Here's quick review of my experience, after 13 months of working in a factory setting. I also more frequently than not, chose to wear these casually over my how every many pairs of overpriced tennis shoes I have. I have very little negative to write, these were a phenomenal pair of workbooks.I do not know if my feet are considered flat or arched, or if they are considered normal or wide. If I had to guess, I would say minor arch, and normal width. I hope that helps you.Firstly and most importantly (to me), there were very light, and very comfortable. The break-in period seemed to take less time than any other pair of boots I've owned. Typically for me, brand new boots cause slight discomfort, as well as a different gait that I eventually get used too. These broke in extremely fast, and I was comfortable wearing them from the moment I put them on. They can be tightened easily and there was enough slack to tighten them further throughout the duration of their useful life, which I would have to do infrequently as they began to get worn. The back heel area maintained structure, and never succumbed to me force-ably putting these on when I was in a rush. The padding around the ankles felt tight, supportive and comfortable. However I imagine if your feet sweat a lot, you would have to wear these slightly more loose (I prefer really tight, so I imagine it could be loosened up a bit, and be just as supportive). There was never much moisture after I removed them after a long/hot days (though my feet don't seem to sweat much). The steel toes did not rub the top of my foot, even after impacts with reasonably heavy objects, and persuading metal with my foot. It also did not cause much discomfort when kneeling down, or otherwise flexing the top half of the boot upward, as has been a problem with other pairs i've owned.The steel toe will eventually get cold in cold weather, or if walking through snow for a moderate amount of time. When the weather became really cold, these were not appropriate to wear. They were very water resistant. Several times I had stepped in deeper than ideal water and my foot stayed dry.The leather was light weight and thin, but extremely tough. It was never lacerated completely through. The stitching did not separate to a degree that would of compromised structure. The rubber sole was never punctured, or ever torn significantly. The sole also maintained tread very well. I had never slipped off my feet, even though hydraulic fluid and oil on painted concrete floors are commonly encountered for me. The tread never caught on grated walkways. The laces were strong, and never pulled apart. I always felt confidant tightening them hard.Several of the metal grommets around the lace holes began to pull off towards a year of use, but I was still able to tighten them just as well, and the lace holes never felt compromised. But by comparison, every pair i've owned eventually does this. I would recommend against using them to stomp on something very hard, however I did use the inside side of the steel toe to persuade things, as well as the heel.I loved these, a lot.

I have been wearing steel toed work boots for 34 years. From cheap Texas Steer to super expensive RED WINGs. My little toe right foot always rubs the steel and creates a blister or corn. In these however because of the XL toe cap that does not happen. The first pair lasted two years in every day service. These are now my weekend yard work shoes and I purchased another new pair for work. While the first pair is not worn out I wanted an newer pair. The upper and soles are still fine. The comfort insert that comes with the shoe is not the very best so after a few months I replaced it with a DR Scholl's working GEL insert for <$10.00 and now i have a pair of comfortable shoes again. So far the lightest and best work shoes I have owned. For waterproofing I used KIWI Camp dry spray liberally on the suede leather uppers before wearing. Just purchased my 6th pair in as many years.

You wont find a more comfortable or light 6" steel toe work boot. The boot holds up pretty well if you throw in some new insoles once or twice. A few things I would change: The tongue of the boot has no sides so if debris hits the shoelaces - it can fall in by your socks. The tongue also has no loops to run the laces through to hold it in place. The top two sets of shoelace holes should be of the quick lace type. Also, the sole could have a little more traction when wet and have a sharper/deeper edge on the front of the heel (e.g. to catch a ladder rung).If you can put up with those issues, you should not be disappointed.

after 2 1/2 years it was time to retire the old ones. This is the second pair, in a row, that I've owned and I wouldn't bother looking elsewhere. After 2 long hard years of walking miles and miles on California construction sites, the old soles finally went bald on me. What was really neat tho was that I was able to carve an extra six months out of the soles with a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder and a mason cutoff blade haha.From the day I got my first pair of these boots, I've never been sorry. They are very well sized, so if you know your true size and order them accordingly, you won't be sorry. The titanium to offers a cost effective alternative to ceramic safety toes without sacrificing breathability. These are the boots you buy when you don't want to think about it again for a few years.Overall I would recommend these to anybody in the market for safety toe work boots...unless you need waterproof work boots.

Boots r great , only ones I’ve found that toe area doesn’t blow out immediately .. very light weight ,and comfortable ... only issue is that the metal shoe string holes come off ... I buy a pair every year .. I’m a flooring contractor and on my knees 8-12 hours a day so toe deal is a huge issue with any shoes/ boots I’ve had before .. no issue with these ever !!! Love them

These boots are amazing! I work as a mechanic, so I needed some boots that were going to be comfortable and that would offer some protection. These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. These boots are the only ones that I have tried hat give you room to move your toes and still have a safety toe. They have a really good toe in them too. I was weary about buying shoes online, partly because i have big feet (size 15) and partly because a lot of the time they don't fit. Timberland gets it. Comfort, Safety and a good price. You cant beat it.
