Purchase SteelBlue Boot and hardly used them. Then the Zipper jammed open on one boot. The other boot Zipper is starting to slide badly so it will most likely jam soon I suspect. SteelBlue did not even want to look at the boot and said it only has a 6 month warranty. Not sure how SteelBlue can keep tabs on their quality if they don't even considering inspections a fault of a boots that has hardly been used.

I've been wearing my work boots, yesterday and today. I've noticed that my feet hurts with my new shoes. I'm not really happy with my purchase.

Not Comfortable, Rub on Foot, Not a Good Fit, Poor Internal Padding
Not all that comfortable at all, the only thing that make them somewhat comfortable is the insole and a rubber section below the insole on the heel section.
You could effectively buy a decent insole for any other cheaper boot and get the same result.
The main reason I bought these were for the zip, however they were too uncomfortable for me and these are the reasons why.
1. The underside of the lace up section is poorly padded, especialy at the bottom end, so the stitching and leather rubs on the upper foot.
2. The steel toe cap is padded but i'd say it could be improved as again it can rub on the foot when toeas are fully bent whilst kneeling.
3. Back of the heel section is not padded at all has a hard section rubs against heel, most of the cheaper boots are padded at various supportive points including back of heel.
4. lack of key padding and posssibly also a trangely wide ankle section means your foot ends up sliding around and is not a comfortable fit, ynless wearing thick pair of socks and strangle tight the the laces from ankle up.
These are the major defects that I have noticed , having normally bough boots for around £20 -£40 which I found were ok for a few hours a day, I was recomended these as being comfortable, I expected much better quality , fit and comfort at at £120 price mark, but sadly they were not all that and I had to re-sell them at a loss, I should add that they are also heavy.
I have found much better boots that dont require break in and are comfortable with no issues, the V12 range are much better boots , I have not had any of the above issues and require no break in and the added advantage of being waterproof and they also come with a 200 day guarantee.

Best work boots ever
These boots are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn!
They seem to be really well put together! They are a very stylish work boot! They also delivered them to my house in a timely manner!
I would recommend these boots to anyone!

There is nothing better than putting on a brand-new pair of Steel Blues and feeling the support and comfort straight away.
I have been wearing Safety Boots for over 40 years and my Steel Blues are by far the Best.
