Power Ace Japanese Tabi Safety Boots

I bought these boots to meet safely requirements (steel/hardened toe) of the job sites I visit while also being vegan. I'm not sure these would hold up well working vigorously outside, but indoors these would be great. I waxed all canvas, so now they're water resistant and more still. I highly recommend doing this for a little more durability.These run very large, so be advised of this. Other than that, this boot is so comfortable it's like wearing slippers. The calves are huge, but with the adjustable Velcro, it's not a problem to cinch them down. These seem to be well made and after a month of daily use (bike commute to work in the rain, job site inspections, and long walks) they are holding up well. I highly recommend them, and especially so for the price

I have been on the look out for the perfect Burning Man and festival shoe for awhile now and happy to find these. Here's why they are great for Burning Man: They are easy to get on-and-off with velcro closures, flexible for climbing art and riding bikes, cool in hot desert, look stylish, comfortable, easy to wash, steel-toe good for working on art projects. The only negative, was that they weren't very warm when the desert gets cold at night. Highly recommended!

These are comfortable, easy to put on, take off, very light-weight, well-constructed excellent work boots. I was positively surprised by how well made these boots are; the photo on the Amazon page does not show the higher quality than in real life - the boots look better than in the photo. I need to wear work, safety-toe boots for portions of my work day; then change into another pair of shoes for other work tasks; these boots are perfect for this as they have sturdy Velcro straps (only two) that make quick off or on fast and easy. I also need the true rubber soles for work around electrical equipment - these boots, unlike many others, have real rubber soles. The sizing is accurate, fits about right. I have put arch supports into the boots as they are made flat-footed, but are still comfortable. The price is excellent. I will purchase a second pair as soon as possible.

These are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted non leather boots for a postapocolyptic cosplay for less than $45. They look perfect and were the perfect price! And - bonus - they're light and reasonably comfortable! I use them for gardening right now to beat them up in advance of wearing them with the costume, and they work fine. For long term walking, I think I'd consider a medium thickness insole, but just for a bit of shock absorption.They seem pretty tough, too - I think these badboys will last me a looong time.Caveat: I have wide feet and a high instep and these are pretty perfect on me - someone with flat feet on the narrower side may find them roomy. Also if you need an arch in your shoe (I don't) you'll absolutely need something. These things are FLAT.

Almost a year later, these are my favorite boots. The fit is great - as other people have mentioned, the calves seem enormous, but the Velcro closure makes it easy to tighten them and you can tuck your pants in when necessary. There's no arch support, so you may want to leave room for insoles when choosing a size. I really like how well you can feel the ground beneath your feet, but I did turn out to need a little more support, so I cut some insoles down to cover the rear 2/3rds of my feet. That probably sounds weird, but it ended up giving me the perfect balance of comfort/support for the heel and arch while letting the ball of my foot and the toes still feel the ground underneath me.

I'm a contractor whose been wearing heavy leather steel-toed work boots every day for most of of my life but recently became allergic to the waterproofing in leather boots and have been desperately searching for an alternative during the pandemic while having to work in disintegrating running shoes. After exhausting all the usual workboot company options due to lack of stock or their lack or actual knowledge of what's in their products I got these. These boots have a lot of flaws but I'm personally happy with them so far but for unsual reasons. These boots do run a few sizes too big, as of writing this (6/11/2020) the instructions are wrong, I had to return the first pair that were sized per the instructions (size 10), and bought a smaller pair (size 9 which is half a size smaller than what I'd normally buy) and they comfortably fit a size 10 insole. Also the straps are waaay too long, the velcro does not line up if I try to strap them to the tightness I need. The heel is a lot softer than I think it should be and can slide and squish around a bit and ankle and arch support is non-existent. So why am I giving it a good grade? Because they're made of really good canvas, are generally roomy, and very simply designed they really lend themselves to modification. I added a few layers of aggressive insoles to my comfort preference which is something I usually do and recommend for work boot comfort anyway, and I bought some cheap ankle supports at a pharmacy that I used to reinforce the ankle stability and add necessary padding. Doing this has made them a perfect comfy fit and I wore them all day doing manual labor with no complaints and I accomplished this for all-together about half the price of a typical workboot. Other things to note:The steel toe is actually impressive, as good as I've ever worn.If you intend to wear these as-is expect them to feel like wearing slippers, they're very soft and warm and you'll likely have to sew on some extra velcro to the straps to tighten, which again is easy because it's canvas.The can easily be folded down to sneakers but you do sacrifice a tight heel when you do so because you're only using one strap, could be solved by adding another belt maybe.They're obviously not waterproof but they do dry very quickly which I honestly think is a fair trade since waterproofing is never permanent anyway and I've always ended up getting my leather boots wet anyway and the having a hell of a time cleaning and drying them.TL;DR they could be designed a lot better but all of the issues have easy work-arounds so they're a good base shoe to work with and they look pretty cool. Buy at least a size smaller than your actual shoe size.Edit: Finding that the red dye in the interior will stain socks for an extended period of time.Also I've traveled extensively using these as hiking boots; pictured is me wearing them at the top of Glacier National Park, they were comfy the whole way up but snugged up on my feet a little on the way down, otherwise no issue with discomfort or raw spots on my feet like I'd get with some leather boots. Now months in the soles have held up surprisingly well and had decent grip though the rubber on the side where my big toe bends the edge of the boot while I walk did separate and will need some shoe goo to repair.

I adore these boots! They're the perfect blend of style, comfort and practicality.One thing to keep in mind is that while the fit is slightly large, they don't have any arch support so I added insoles and now the fit is slightly snug. With steel toes, there is no chance of breaking them in as far as extra toe space so make sure to account for space for the insoles if you want some arch support.

These are awesome work boots !Light weight, comfortable, solid protective toe caps, easy to get in/out of them, great gripping soles and stylish to boot 🤗Only draw back is the size guide is misleading at first ...I returned them and chose a smaller than my normal size - 8.5 down to 7 and very happy with them.Tried and tested on crew site for a week, unfortunately i did return a second pair due to faulty glued heel but enjoyed them and i am ordering another pair.

WOW.... the best steel toe boots i've ever had. I have to wear them for work (heath and safety) and i've always hated them....until now. I call these my work slippers, comfortable from day one. almost like being barefoot, I could see them taking some getting used to for someone who likes a close fitting structured boot but for me (barefoot whenever possible) they are amazing... i am now looking for some without the steel toe for home.. size 5 1/2 women i bought 24.5 and they fit great

Great boots, I ordered a size down from usual after finding my normal size way too big. But these are fine and roomy, so go smaller is my advice. Really comfortable, rubber soles squeak a bit but are secure. One thing worth noting the grey ones are more blue than grey.

The boots are very comfortable and easy to put on.

Very comfortable for all day wear.As close as you can get for barefoot feel from a safety boot.May not stand up to a highly demanding environment, through rain for example.I use it when working in office builds.
