Maven 6" Lightweight Steel Toe Safety Boots

I needed a safety style shoe/boot for work. It’s amazing how expensive a lot of them are. So upon finding these for $80 ish I was stoked. The shoes themselves are sweet. Comfy, sturdy, stylish. Love the tightening “laces” although I question the longevity. Or how they might be replaced if necessary. Unfortunately I’ll never know, as I am forced to return them within a week. After just one week of light use, the bottoms are already smooth and have lost any sense of grip or stability. For me in my line of work , I need slip resistance. Especially in the winter months up north where I live. So while I love the shoes. That needs to be improved. Other than that, 4/5 stars.

Right out of the box, the boots fit perfectly. They are a lot more lightweight than I expected but that is not a bad thing! There is just a slight break in period needed because there is one seam on the outside of each boot near your toes, that if you tighten the boot too much at first, digs into your foot. Leave the boots a bit loose the first couple of days and that seam stops being a bother.

I do professional pressure washing and painting/powder coating. These really are light weight steel toes that don't weigh your feet down when you're working 10 hour days. Especially when you have big feet like me. The dial lacing is also really convenient for taking them on and off or just a quick tighten when youre moving around a lot. Mostly waterproof unless you get a lot of water on the tongue then it gets in some, but perfect for rainy and wet conditions since they dry fast as well. Would order again.
