I have had issues when uploading photos straight from my phone, image was too large. But the error message would tell me it was too large.

I really wish TikTokers would all take the “drink a gallon of bleach challenge”.

It was becoming drier than a popcorn fart out here until we got some rain yesterday.

Ok, I ended ordering these, I do like the durashock soles, I went ahead selected the carbon toes, figured the protected toe would probably better when I'm working around the cattle. Wolverine had $40 off coupon(BUYMORE) and Paypal had an instant $10 off coupon.
Total was $141.50 shipped.

Out of the box, they are a bit heavy.
Took about 4 days to break in, during that time I could feel a tad bit of the carbon toe, but that's a non issue now.
After wearing these boots everyday for past 10 days, I don't have any or experienced any ankle fatigue, foot soreness or calf tightness.

Overall I really like them, even though I still think they are heavy, but after 10min or so wearing them I forget about the weight. Another month or two and I'll know whether these boots will hold up.

Edit: Let me add that I'm not saying you made a bad boot choice or anything. I finally had a minute to peck out a recommendation since I'm at my computer right now.

If you want a boot without a hard toe, these have been the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They weigh absolutely nothing, you can roll them up so they don't take a lot of space in your suitcase and usually last me about a year before I wear the sole of the boot out because I wear them so much. They have a waterproof version of them too.

They have sales all the time as well and I've never paid full price for a pair of their boots or shoes. I own a bunch of their shoes as well for the same reasons I listed above.

This guy agrees with me as well.


Side note: you can go down a rabbit hole watching this guy's channel lol

That sole looks way to soft, not ideal for the South Tx brush county, I can see thorns penetrating or breaking off in that sole.

For daily use around the civilized parts of the ranch, they are just fine. For clearing out stuff or traipsing through the cactus then yes, you'll need heavy leather with thick soles.

But again, this wasn't really directed at you, I just missed out on commenting my $0.02 the other day when people were making boot recommendations. I wasn't about to type out all of that on my phone keyboard lol I hope you have a great day at "work" @Taco Loco while I go deal with shit that people keep breaking constantly.

My plant actually had a new boot truck out today. Much better than the junk ass Redwing and Hytest trucks we’ve been using exclusively for the last 10 years or so. I actually ended up getting a pair of Reebok boots. I’m sure they won’t hold up for very long but god damn they’re comfortable. They also had some moc toe Ariats that felt very similar to my Thorogoods at home and some Avenger (New Balance’s new work boot brand) that were comfortable as hell. I’ll swap to one of those boots if the Reeboks don’t last. There were a pair of Michelins as well that were probably the most comfortable right out of the box. They felt like they were already broken in and felt the most well made. But they were clunky as hell. Felt like trying to walk with cinder blocks strapped to your feet.

I figured I’d give them a shot on the company’s dime. So far they’ve been amazing for working on concrete. Definitely wouldn’t hold up to to rough terrain though. But I don’t do any of that here so being able to stand and walk on concrete for 6-8 hours straight is a much more desirable feature.
