Gander Mountain Men's Rugged Force Work Boots, Brown, Available in Medium and Wide Width

I've had this boot now for 8 months. The leather has held up well, but has also broken in so much that I need to wear thick socks for an OK fit and OK support. My main problem with the boot is that the sole, after only 8 months, has compressed to about a third of what it was. In addition, I've had to glue the sole back on both boots and that was at the 6 month mark the first time. I bought these boots expecting to trash can them at the end of a year. I don't know that I can get them to last that long.

The heel and sole should be some kind of harder material. I can say that I have gotten a lot of service from these boot's but I would not purchase again. The boots are not bad.

Specific to extra wide models - The toe protectors were a little narrower than the shoe itself, my toes didn't fit comfortably in the protector. For somewhat with a regular width foot these shoes might work fine.

Few months in and still a great deal. Measure your feet and study foot measurement tables to be sure your getting the right size.

Outside leather was nice, but way to big. I normally wear a 12 D this was like a 13 W .

Purchased these boots for my husband who works in construction. He has only worn them for a couple of days but said they are comfortable. He also said they felt a little too big but okay.

A good boot for $30

We bought these boots at the end of July and the sole came off the boot. They are not even 3 months old. There is no warranty and the seller will not stand behind the product. Do not buy!
