SkechersMen's Burgin-Tarlac Industrial Boot

purchased to use at work. sketchers is one of the brands i frequently use as boots. been using this particular purchase for roughly 2 months. no noticeable mention of fault/wear that is unusual during that timeframe. takes a week or two to break in. steel toe was probably not needed as much as anticipated it would be helpful for my current purposes though i purchased anyway. traction and water resistance are dependable thus far.

These boots were purchased and December of 2023 I wore them daily for work being a landscaper in the south. Which turns out to be about 400 days before I decided to retire them. They were cleaned daily and conditioned and put on a boot dryer at night. They started losing their waterproofness after about 120 days. They have protected my feet with comfort and safety in the working conditions that, I'm often are in.Durability:Very good Fit:Comfortable Ankle support:Outstanding

My husband loves these boots! Light weight and comfortable. Only downside is the insoles wear out. Fixed my replaceable insoles.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I choose these boots for my husband over any other brand, because of the style, weight and width. He is a diesel mechanic which forces him to be on his feet all day. As a family, we trust Skechers, and these are very comfortable, light(er) weight than other steel toe boots and the fact that they off a wide width is perfect! Highly recommend these boots!

UPDATE to my original review:Ended up tossing these boots in the trash. As mentioned before, my feet have never smelled until I wore these boots for work. These boots somehow brought out the worst foot odor and you could never get it out of them. Of the 10+ pairs of boots and shoes I own (some 10yrs old), my feet have never smelled and they never smelled. Secondly, 2 months of trying to wear these and they have been the worst and most uncomfortable shoes/boots I have ever owned. Blisters and sore feet since day 1. They are so bad that I wouldn't give them to a homeless person.Their name was good when they first came out....but now, I am not sure. Here is why...1: Inside of the boot is cheap and you can feel the steel toe edge inside the boot on top of your foot. Very thin material and even had a crease in foot from this edge when laying on ground working for a while.2: Odor-accelerating insoles. I have NEVER...and I mean, NEVER had stinky feet problems until I got these boots. Within 2 times of wearing them they smelled awful of foot odor... Yet, all my other work boots and shoes have no odor at all. When I wear these for a few hours just walking around, you can start to smell foot odor from them. I don't know what or how this is possible, but when I change into my 14yr old boots I have no issues.3: Not sure what they tested anti-slip on...but these boots are the worst boots on wet surfaces or around oil or grease I have ever owned. They seem to absorb oils and grease and track it worse than anything I have owned. Getting on a ladder with them a little wet is almost asking to slip off a rung.4: Take a long time to break in. After blisters on heels and feet, they took nearly a month to break enough to not be so stiff... I work 12-14hr days on my feet and these boots broken in have to be taken off after about 8hrs or so and switched. They are so stiff and you feel every little edge and bump in these boots. I have a set of walmarboots for a 1/4 of the price that were some of the most comfortable and durable boots I have had aside from my expensive ones.Cheaply made, not tested properly, uncomfortable, has serious odor control problems, insoles flatten out within a week, and overpriced.

My company provides steel toe boots once annually or if there's an immediate need. I destroyed mine and ordered Timberlands. Those boots may as well have been built of steel all around and wouldn't lose grip on a Slip & Slide coated in cooking oil. Unfortunately, they liked to eat my toes and after a couple weeks I could barely walk in them.I was 2 months from the next annual order so I could either get my toes amputated or buy a cheap temporary solution. Luckily, these boots were both of those things.They're very poorly made. The leather started peeling apart in a few weeks, for instance. I had to get new laces not long after as they started unraveling. And the grip I enjoyed with the Timberlands? Non-existent. I had to hold take baby steps everywhere or hold onto something so I didn't slip and hurt myself everything I went at work.I own a lot of Skechers shoes. Embarrassing amounts of them. They're just so comfortable and a lot of them look pretty nice too. If not for the label on these boots you wouldn't know they were from the same company. Sure, my toes returned to their somewhat less gnarly appearance and didn't need to be cut off anymore, but that doesn't mean they were comfortable. They certainly don't have the same insoles as regular Skechers, as was advertised.If you buy these, don't expect them to be a long-term solution. I use them indoors in a wet environment with lots of smooth surfaces and chemicals. Maybe that's just not right for these. Perhaps they'll be fine in a dry environment. I can't say. Either way, they're still not built to the standards of the major manufacturers of work boots

Have bought these boots before and they are comfortable. The only issue I've ever had is that the laces don't last long and are hard to find replacements.

Good boot great value. Fitment is true to size. Comfortable sole.
