Black HammerComposite Safety Boots for Men Non-Metallic Lightweight Durable Work Shoes Non-Slip Anti-Static Smooth Leather 8844

Working in a warehouse we needed non metallic safety shoes so i just went and bought a pair. They were really bad and after i dropped a soundbar on my boots the toe protector broke, i could feel small bits of plastic inside. Then i bought this as my second pair during winter and thought I'd buy another in summer. That was in 2021. They're great in all weather and don't get hot or cold, protection is great as i had all kinds of heavy stuff dropped on my feet. They don't look very good after so much time but i did abuse them. Downside is there isn't any heel protection as far as I can tell and not too much of it in the laces area though there's great padding around the ankles which can stop a blind forklift operator from hurting you. They are padded with textile material inside and will require special thick socks, anything less will rip in a day or 2 but this applies to all work boots probably. The sole is comfortable and i think it lasted for about a year or two before it became sort of flat and i had to buy some soles.Overall I'd recommend them for most kinds of work and honestly you're paying 30 pounds, it's not the best out there but it will do the job very well.

True to size. For safety boots they are relatively lightweight. Only had them a couple of days but they are bedding in nicely.

Update**The seller has contacted me and informed me of an update to the design of the boots and has sent me a pair to try, this is good service, very grateful for them and I will review the new boots once I've used them for a whileI have bought these boots 3 times and they are great, for 4 months, then the heel part comes away from the sole/tread the rest of the boot looks as new and lasts really well but all 3 pairs I've had have split in the exact same place on both left and right. Very disappointing as apart from this major flaw I love these boots shame I can't afford to throw money away buying them they gotta last longer than they do

Comfortable, light, good price

Bought these in a 10, which were a little tight, I would have recommended a 10.5 or 11 for extra room as I’ve had another brand boot which was a bigger 10. Wore this boot for a year put it through the paces and they lasted about 10 months before they started to rip in half which is okay for me as the price is still cheap and they are fairly durable. Comfort is good, I wasn’t uncomfortable other than the 10 being a tight fit. The insole has good support and is thicker for the heel which is great. I did however buy another insole anyway after a couple months as I wore it down. Wet grip is pretty good and they flex enough. Protects your toe very well and the style is nice. I have just ordered another pair after 11 months. Overall good product for the price.

I was initially sold on the lightweight/composite toecap sales pitch. As workboots go, these are pretty comfortable and they are indeed lightweight. The soles are grippy and give a good feeling of security on a wide range of surfaces.On the downside, these boots are not at all breathable so any perspiration/moisture is locked in until the end of the workday.That's not the reason I regret this purchase though... after just three months the stitching around the toe flex area started to come apart on one foot, soon followed by the same problem on the opposite foot. The side panel on one boot has now split at the stitching too.The durability of the thread used for stitching these boots is clearly sub-par.I don't work in the harshest of environments and most of my work is carried out indoors in the dry. However, within just a few months these boots are literally falling apart at the seams.Black Hammer brand is now firmly sat in my AVOID list and I suggest that others avoid this brand as well. For similar money, more durable options are available

Great boots very comfy and true to size

These boots for me are great, I normally purchase better known brands but I thought I would give these a try and I really am surprised as to how supportive and also comfortable they are, of course with any boot you have to break them in to your feet, but once broken in they are really very good.I was looking for a slightly higher heel and firm support around the ankle as I broke my ankle a few years back and my physio said to get new work boots as my old ones were not supporting my ankle anymore.with this in mind, I started looking to get a supportive pair of boots, these popped up on Amazon and drew my attention because of the high voltage resistance aspect of them as I work on electric commercial vehicles.Honestly, I cannot fault these boots, they have surpassed my expectations in every way and I am very happy with my purchase, oh and if your an engineer and do lots walking about you will be also glad to know that they are nice and light pair of boots.Hopefully these will last a decent length of time, time will tell.UPDATEOne of the top plastic eyelets at the top of the boot broke off, now as I said before, I need to support the ankle that broke, so I do that up very tight. However by just punching a hole through the leather It was perfectly functional again and is still supportive to my ankle.I still think these are great, just maybe re think the eyelets if you want them super tight.
