Brahma Mens Defender Waterproof 8" Soft Toe Work Boots

3rd pair of these. Love them. For the price and fit, I always find it difficult justifying the purchase of more expensive work boots. The quality is on par for the price and might be the only thing to consider going to a higher tier to tackle really abusive jobs and projects. Not technically wide toe box, but close enough without having to shop specialty boots. I prefer wide toe box footwear and these fit the bill well enough that I just keep coming back when the current pair finally near their end; this either due to worn insoles or outer tread, or unredeemable odor. The lower quality of the synthetic materials does seem to contribute a bit to a slightly faster build up of foot odor over their lifespan, but some diligence in keeping them dry will decently stave that off for a bit. I still give them 5 stars because for the price they meet realistic expectations.

We always buy this particular brand of shoe is the only thing my boyfriend could wear because of sore ankles. The price has gone up considerably but it’s the one he wears and he wears usually 2 to 3 pairs a year and that’s all so can’t complain too much
