I have not had these very long, but this is the 5th time that I have purchased steel toed shoes. Each time I thought I was getting the best of what I could find but they were and heavy and Uncomfortable from the beginning and only got worse. I was desperate when I order these and not to hopeful because the price was so much lower than the others I had bought. Well I could not have dream that it was possible to find steel toe shies that are this light and feel this good. They bend like real shoes...
