Why did you choose this item?
I love the look of a Moc Toe boot, I feel it can be used fashionably and for work purposes. I’m in industrial sales and service, a quick brush and shine gets me ready for meetings and what not, but the steel toe, slip-resisting soles gets me ready for work. I can feel confident in comfortable in the conference room or covered in grease turning wrenches.
How did you determine your size?
No real “last” here, just a Big Boot brand
What was the ordering process?
Super easy and quick shipping
Use & wear
For the couple few months I’ve owned them, it has been WONDERFUL. Dirt, dust and scuffs clean off with ease and some brushing. The leather is good and thick, a good firm feel and hold shape well. After getting them good and broke in you can hardly tell they’re on your feet.
Leather
This leather works in great, it takes Obenauf’s LP super well, scuffs brush out with ease. Overall the unlined inner burnishes very well and after some break in feels like a strong sturdy and stiff leather. Patina wise, with the Obenauf’s it’s getting very very dark, to the point where it may not stand out, but that’s okay because these are work boots.
Fit
With how condition this leather is, it forms right to your foot, no issues
Craftsmanship
It’s alright work wise, definitely some errors here and there and QC isn’t the best, but it’s a mass produced boot so that’s expected
Sole & heel
I adore the 90° heel so much, it give my feet area to catch in machine frames or any kind of surface given the brake up of the sole. I would like if the tread was more aggressive but beggars can’t be choosers. The sole its self is very very easy on the feet once broken in.

Final thoughts
I would recommend these if you needed a pair of boots that you don’t have to worry about and if you don’t have the time to do any of the PNW boot brands sizings. They’re great for general use, if you have the time though, definitely spend a touch more and get Whites.
