@@ajwernert21 They seem to do revisits of a lot of stuff, some more frequently than others.

[@joepruim6732]

I bought a pair of these in the past and they’re even worse than you reviewed. I got them as a lightweight/light duty work shoe for the finishing stages on renovation jobs ( trim, painting cleanup) so bending, crouching and moving around would be easier when I need less protection. As soon as you crouch in these the inner liner of the steel toe deflects and locks down into that shape, pinching the top of your foot and it’s doesn’t return to form when you’re back upright. So damn uncomfortable. The outsole also has ZERO grip and you slip and slide everywhere. They also aren’t certified for Canadian work shoe standards so they won’t even pass if a safety inspector comes by

[@horstpansen7595]

As a former german Firefighter, I can tell you that cheap steel toes are even more of a hazard than no steel toes at all. Eg.: cheap steel toes have a great chance to deform and act as a "blade" when run over by cars. They will either cut your toes off or cut into your feet.

They like to look blue collar while never having worked a difficult job in their life. The African troopers they just made with Jim green are a perfect example of that. No one in their right mind would ever want barefoot work boots it’s an oxymoron. Not to Mention they’re hideous but that’s besides the point of they are completely unpractical for any work setting.

What if: 1. Instead of fly mesh, 13 Gauge Knitted, Seamless HHPE/Nylon had been used? This is what cut resistant gloves are made out of and it provides level 5 cut protection and is EN388 Certified. 2. the imitation leather parts of the shoe were instead made out of kevlar in order to provide truly high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability. Kevlar is what firehoses are made of. 3. instead of a steel toe the shoe had a composite toe made of carbon fiber, kevlar, or fiberglass in order to provide lighter weight than steel toe, to not conduct heat or electricity, and to make them a good option for workers who need to work shoes in hot conditions. These shoes are begging for a redesign and I have 100% trust that @RoseAnvil is the perfect one to do the redesign justice.

But at that point their are so many other options that can do that same thing for you.

[@commandingangel]

I have in my entire life never had decent shoes since I was a kid in the 70's, where my sneakers had a metal shank for arch support. Sold openly at places like Sears. There used to be American manufactures of shoes. That's all but disappeared. Now as a 50+ year old who is a lifelong endurance athlete, I burn through shoes at the rate of 2 pairs a month. It is awful. In the 90's Nike had this out-sole that was made from recycled rubber. It was super tough. Of course, it was off the market as soon as they figured that out. Let's face it Asian made shoes suck. I want steel back in my shoes. I want an very tough out-sole. I want a stone shield in sole of the toe area (Reebok made some shoes in the late 90's which had this but it was plastic). Finally, a neutral foot position, foam wedges just end up causing joint problems and don't help with running at all. Also it needs to be addressed that men who are over 200 pounds need heavier and more supportive footwear. Something which the shoe manufacturers seem to ignore.

[@MrSaNF]

Now at that price I am interested in how Engelbert Strauss (biggest work wear company in Germany) S3 boots hold up. We're using S3 "Hadar" shoes - they cost like 75€..

Good review but you got something wrong, these shoes are NOT $74. They go for around $20-30 and are okay for that price, definitely not long lasting work shoes though.

[@blondiejoe]

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years, and I was all but convinced that a pair of Dr. Martens was a bad move. Well, I bought some and they are easily my favourite piece of footwear I've bought in a long time. I think a key factor is that I went with their Greasy leather, which is corrected or something but not heavily coated. Sole construction aside, I'd be interested in seeing what you think of their non-coated leathers like the greasy, crazy horse, and the so called Pascal full grain.

[@oasntet]

While I totally accept that not many materials have the combination of abrasion, weather, water and puncture resistance that high grade leather does, I would see value in reviewing some "vegan" boots for when my sorta-okay and well-maintained standard issue combat boots from two decades ago finally wear out.

Okay, legitimate question about the barefoot African ranger boots. What's the point of it being barefoot? Why not a normal dip in the heel like any other boot?

[@BruceKarrde]

I am not an expert on safety shoes, like, I don't have certifications or so. However, I've used safety shoes and they're not all the same. For example, some soles will dissolve when some desinfection liquid is used. The shoes I used weren't flexible - not only did it have the toe protection, it had a steel plate in the sole. Not just that, the fabric wasn't breathable, as it had to protect the user from certain chemicals. The company I worked for provided these shoes for free. You could also replace them for free. I think you only were asked questions if you replaced them more than 3 times a year. I don't think anyone will allow you to enter their site using these "indistructable shoes".

[@TylerSnyder305]

I think basically the only kind of job where footwear of this concept might remotely be a good idea is maybe for a shelf stocker. A job where you want something lightweight snd breathable, but might occasionally drop something that would definitely hurt enough to ruin your day but not cause an actual injury. I don't think anybody with such a job should buy these, but a lightweight very breathable shoe with minor toe production might make sense if it was of any quality.

I’ve had my foot run over by a small hatchback before also. Wasn’t that bad. Vans skate shoes too. Toes were fine.
