I've bought and worn steel toe boots for the better part of 10 years with my work and these are the first CAT boots I've bought. They look as good in person as in the photos and are the first pair of steel toe boots that I think look nice enough and feel comfortable enough to wear as hiking boots or with a regular jeans outfit. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. The fabric at the top is a nice touch, providing comfort for wearing lower socks. I'd purchase these again and recommend them!
