Safety Toe Metro Side Zip Boot. I work in a plant. The platforms our machines sit on have very aggressive anti slip serrated steel bars for us to stand on. Everything is also covered in oil. The platforms sheered the lugs off my boots in 1 week of use. The boots are stripped down to a bare minimum of rubber and in some spots worn thru to the sole. However I rated 3 Stars because I thought they were the most comfortable break-in period and the anti slip did work. These boots would be perfect for street use however cannot take heavy factory boots.

I love the comfort of my boots however I just got them and they are already falling apart..what do I do?

Let me start off by saying that this is a great product, but there are some minor issues that need to be fixed before I can confidently give it a 5/5, based on my experience. Others may differ, and that's alright. When I first got the product I was excited, I immediately tried them on and they felt wonderful. Lightweight and soft, yet firm, contact to the ground with each step, a slight squeak here and there but I put into consideration that it was brand new after all so no complaints there. As the days went on I noticed that there was this annoying bump in the inner-middle side of the tongue, which would be located around the inner ankle. It turns out it was the stitching of the material that caused this uncomfortable lump. I seem to have gotten used to this issue for the most part and when the issue resurfaces, it can be solved by simply shifting the tongue towards your outer side. (My friend tried it on and had no problems with the stitching, it could just be me). I also noticed that there are some threads that stick out which may cause it to look as if it was coming undone, but that's not the case, just something that may bother some. The quality of the boots are pretty good, but the consistency seems to be somewhat noticeable. After a week of wear, the tread on the front-center part of my boot seems to be coming apart, notably along the tread zigzag design, and therefore causes this irritable squeaking no matter what surface I walk on. The tread on my right boot is fine and still in one piece, not so much as a tear. I really love the zipper on the side of the boot though, it is absolutely wonderful and really makes taking off and on the boots really easy. The boots are comfy, and as they advertise, very light. You could wear the 9" boots and still look like you're wearing normal shoes if your pants covers them. The boots pretty much what the company advertises, the only word of warning is that you shouldn't expect them to be perfect in every way shape or form, and that they may not hold out in terms of endurance as long as you'd hope them to.
