Excellent Work Boots It’s currently very difficult to find quality minimalist work boots that check all the boxes and I am finally satisfied with finding these.

Only company I’ve seen as far as footwear to listen to the consumer and try to continue to upgrade their product. The boots has been everything they have promised to be.
Response from CaretsApr 5, 2026
Daniel, thanks for the review, as well as sharing the feedback we need to continue upgrading! It's the best way we know to do things. - Mountain, Founder & Designer

I bought a pair of their determination 2.2 work boots, and they are fantastic! I’ve never had a pair of work boots that were wide enough to accommodate my stupidly wide feet before. It only took a couple weeks to break the boots in, and now they are more comfortable than my regular shoes!
Response from CaretsApr 5, 2026
Jonathan, glad to hear we were able to accommodate your wide feet! Wide feet like ours might feel stupid in the wrong shoes, but we have a more stable base, and that's a good thing. Happy to hear your boots are now more comfortable than regular shoes! - Mountain, Founder & Designer

Carets has been nothing but outstanding in my experience. I have ordered four pairs of shoes / boots from their outlet store as the prices are definitely high, but your paying for top tier high quality items. Since owning my pairs of shoes and boots from Carets I have worn them for work and personal use multiple times and had no issues. The shoes / boots are very comfortable and exactly what a minimalist barefoot dress shoe / boot should be. For all that do not know, their outlet store are used boots / shoes that have been returned and restored to almost perfect condition. One of the pairs of shoes I got did have a sticky adhesive on the inside of the shoe from a previous customer using what appeared to be a heel grip. Due to this, it rendered the shoe almost unwearable without getting the sticky adhesive on my socks. I notified Carets of this issue and they immediately remediated the problem and the customer service was 5/5 stars. I highly recomend Carets for anyone looking for the highest quality barefoot dress shoes or boots!

Michael, thank you for your review, and continued support! Our Outlet Store offers great deals and we appreciate you sharing about it. We're happy you reached out about the sticky adhesive situation, so that we could make them work for you.

Initially had a challenge due to courier issues. Today I have 3 pairs and I can tell you these are by far the best pair of shoes I’ve ever invested in. I highly highly recommended these shoes

Hi Azhar, I'm sorry that our interaction began with carrier issues! International shipping, particularly between USA and UAE, can be quite a headache sometimes. In the end, I'm glad we were able to get them to you, and get you into multiple pairs of shoes you now love. Thank you for your support! - Mountain, Founder & Designer

There was initial misunderstanding due to delay in shipment. I have to say these are the best formal shoes I’ve ever owned. I now have 3 pairs. I have flat feet so these for me are perfect.
