Love the look of this steel toe shoe. I get compliments all the time and people can’t believe they are steel toes. I used reviews to suggest my shoe size... I wear a seven so I ordered a seven wide. The width is great. But, these shoes require a definite break in period! Wear thick socks. The back of the shoes hurts and will cause blisters if you wear thin socks. The toe box seems comfortable only with thick socks, until the shoe is broke in. Be prepared that these are stiff shoes at first. I have had about a week and today is the first day I kept them on even when I get off work for several hours. They look great with capris or jeans. I am not a fan of round laces, but I found if you tie your shoes wrapping around the loop counter clockwise, instead of clockwise, you do not have to double knot them and the bow lays prettier. I just skip them on and off and so far they have not came untied with a single knot since I got them! Overall... it’s a nice shoe, but just like all boat shoes.. you must break these bad boys in.
