They lasted for 1 year!
I will buy them again because I am standing for 10 hours a day and I didn't feel anything! I never wore insoles!
Nails and screws don't go through the sole, it is very durable and doesn't slip!
It prevents static electricity 100%!
It is an extremely lightweight shoe! From me, it gets a 10/10
Very good work shoes with very good slip resistance, very good laces and grip, and relatively heavy - 750g each in size 42 (normally I would say for good work boots) which obviously become tiring after several hours of work.
If you don't absolutely need them to be boots (which also protect the ankles), then definitely the lower Michelin ankle boots will be slightly lighter if you're looking for something more comfortable for long hours of work.
I have had them for almost 4 months and I only have good things to say... until I have used them many times for climbing on rough mountain slopes without any problems.
The only negative thing I will mention and disappoint many is that they are not 100% waterproof, as they are not 100% breathable (which is logical since they are made of synthetic material), but they are definitely not as bad as some plastic ones that are available.
In heavy water (e.g. heavy rain or walking through wet grass as a friend mentioned), if water constantly stays on the "tongue" of the shoe, it will seep through (not something terrible, but it will seep through).
If someone wants 100% waterproof shoes and the environment they use them in involves a lot of water, then they will have an issue.
P.S.1 These specific boots are one size larger than what we usually wear (e.g. size 42 is for 26.80cm foot length), so trust the size guide.
P.S.2 For fully waterproof shoes, even in heavy rain on a motorcycle, I have other boots (Honeywell Bacou Pro BTP, which unfortunately are not available in Greece) with waterproofed leather (which means the foot breathes 100% and they are 100% waterproof). BUT they happen to be heavier compared to the Michelin ones (by 50g each), so I only use them for a few hours of work or in wet working conditions.
P.S.3 There is no such thing as a reliable and lightweight work/safety boot.
P.S.4 For construction work, they definitely won't withstand it since they are made of synthetic material and not leather, so I recommend looking for something in full leather for construction work, for extremely wet conditions (e.g. a workplace like a car wash or delivery in heavy rain) where the tongue will get wet in front, or for work in a kneeling or squatting position (where the front part bends and will tear on the side), it's better to look for something in full leather because these will "fail" you!
For a harsh work environment where you work in an upright position, they are fine... but in kneeling positions, they will open on the side right after the toe protection.
Edit 6/11/2021
P.S.5 After having them for 8.5 months and using them for 3 months in a kneeling and squatting position (bending the front part), one boot gave up by opening/detaching on the side right after the toe protection and creating a gap of about 4-5 inches, so it's a shame for the 70+ euros I spent to get them.
So, 2 stars and that's it.
Edit: 6/7/2023
Sturdy and heavy work boots (with a significantly higher price and weight - 950g each, quite heavy), are the CAT Excavator Lt S3.
I have had them for a year with tough use and many kneeling and squatting positions (like the ones above that couldn't handle it), and they still look like new.
Fully thermally insulated, with high-quality interior to prevent foot odor, very good slip resistance, and of course, 100% waterproof.
As for their durability to electricity, I hit them with 220v and I simply felt a tickling sensation in my fingertips.
The worst.. I bought them thinking they were good and they turned out to be trash, in the first week the clip on the right shoe broke at the laces, after two months on the boat they opened at the side.. better stay away, spend a little more and get something else, they are not worth it!!
One of the worst shoes, even though I had bought it as better than the ergo bicap s3, I ultimately regretted it after 3 months. It's relatively heavy, slips, and opened up like a rose on the sides. I stitched it, and in a month, the other one opened up too.
We got size 43 because we wear size 43 in safety shoes... They were too small for us. We gave them as a gift elsewhere and ordered size 44, but they were huge for us. Nevertheless, the shoes are of good quality and durable.
After 1 and a half years on a construction site, they still hold up. They are very lightweight and comfortable on the foot, and after 12 hours of work, they do not slip on oil and ice. They are waterproof in reasonable conditions. As soon as they break, I will buy them again. I highly recommend them, they are worth the purchase
As an electrician working in construction sites and coming from a pair of 170 euro boots from beta..these are lighter..I wear them from 8 in the morning until late at night for over 12+ hours...you forget that you are wearing work boots..you have the impression that you are wearing a good hiking boot somehow..quite comfortable after a few days..at first, you may feel a bit uncomfortable in the toe area...very good grip on slippery surfaces with the Michellin sole..very good temperature control whether it's summer or winter..not so waterproof because as soon as water reaches the tongue, it starts to get wet..as for protection against electric current, I happened to get hit by medium voltage and I barely felt it..the screwdriver, imagine, it lights up even if you don't touch the wall with bare hands..generally, for the money, I expected them to last a little longer because after 1 year they opened on the sides, both of them (probably due to kneeling for cables and boxes)..I might get them again..although I will now try the cofra since it's cheaper and has very good reviews..if they don't suit me, I will definitely go back to this one.
I have had the shoe for two and a half years and it is worth every penny. I will definitely buy it again when the ones I have break. I highly recommend it
The shoes are value for money.
Pay attention to the size, consult the guide. It is not a heavy shoe, it will take the shape of the foot in two days, it may bother a little on the first day on the front inner part which is the iron. I also added an insole from the market and it was perfect and maintains ideal temperature inside. I used it for olive picking and hunting. It is waterproof and not just in moisture, I stepped in mud. Very good sole, it does not slip. Convenient laces, easy to put on and take off. I am very satisfied
One of the most amazing boots I have ever worn comfortably, warm without iron with unnecessary weight but with S3 technology and the Michellen seal!!! I use them in agricultural work, they don't slip a lot, especially now during olive picking on the olive groves! I got them at a slightly lower price but I highly recommend them without hesitation!!!
One of the best I have personally worn. Just be careful with the size, it is one size smaller than the branded ones. I would definitely buy it again. Comfortable and stylish.
I have had them for about a year now. I chose them because the reviews I read praised them. However, I have noticed that they are now very contradictory. This obviously happens because everyone uses them for different purposes, so opinions cannot coincide.
I bought them (besides the need for S3 standard due to work) for the waterproof feature they claimed to have. I work as a technician, carrying my tools on a motorcycle, so I wanted something that would be warm and waterproof enough for a light rain. This never happened! Whenever it rained while riding the motorcycle, my feet got wet. Even wearing waterproof overalls, my shoes still managed to get wet. Maybe they are more suitable for static work like gas stations, but not for motorcycles. Also, they were not as warm as I expected. With the same good socks I wore before getting them, my feet felt the cold.
Again, I always mean for use on a motorcycle and visits to buildings.
So yes, their purchase was probably pointless for my case.
Now, their positives.
They are, for me at least, very comfortable! My feet never complained about comfort! Also, they are indeed incredibly slip-resistant! So much so that when I switch to regular shoes, I forget and slip.
In conclusion, I believe they are very good shoes, they just didn't fit my needs.
I am a truck driver and I wear them every day, I bought them in November and the right shoe "opened" in late April, possibly because it was touching the engine cover. As a shoe, it is very good for its price and it doesn't tire my feet, I highly recommend it and of course I will buy them again!
They are worth their money in terms of quality, but be careful: they are a hard shoe. This means that if you weigh less than 70 kilograms, they will never soften and they will hit your feet so hard that you won't be able to wear them.
Other than that, they are indeed an S3 shoe, but their construction is more suitable for workshops, ships, gas stations, NOT for construction.
They lasted 9 months on the construction site. The seams opened on the 8th month. The sole underneath started wearing out a lot after the 5th month. Overall, I would not recommend them for construction. They don't hold up.
Very good shoe, comfortable, lightweight, and very durable! The only negative is that the "leather" is sensitive and peels off. Also, the seams on the tongue are not 100% waterproof, so there is a small issue in heavy water.
I bought them a year ago. They lasted without much wear and tear. They came apart and ripped on the sides. I couldn't wear them every day because of what would happen to them. Much fuss over nothing. It's a shame because they look nice
The most uncomfortable work shoe I have ever purchased, I gave up on it within a week and thankfully bought another pair for 20 € and my feet and body calmed down
The shoes are very comfortable and durable, they withstand dust and heavy objects falling on them, the laces don't easily break. The negative aspect is that they become heavy after wearing them for a few hours. Another thing is that the leather they have requires maintenance. You need to treat it with some kind of leather dye, otherwise they won't last long.
I wear it for a month at a construction site in the mountains with regular athletic socks and with temperatures ranging from -4 to 0 degrees for 8-9 hours, the shoe is warm. It doesn't burn my foot, but compared to what I had before, it keeps my feet at a very comfortable level. They are comfortable to the point that I now wear them while driving to work, which takes about 1 hour. In terms of waterproofing, I wash them after mud and such, under a faucet or in streams, and even though I feel that water passes through where it gets wet, it actually doesn't pass through, it's just that because the water is frozen, I feel it that way. So, the pros are that they are comfortable, warm, and waterproof. Today, I kicked a stone and gave them their first hit, and I hope they don't get wet. I clean them with water and a damp cloth every day at home!
I will probably buy them again if they prove to last for a year. They are work shoes, so let's invest in them and not in one pair every 2-3 years!
Perfect shoe... I used it in very difficult conditions on roofs, mud, and rocks that other shoes couldn't handle (they would tear apart). It's quite waterproof and even if water gets inside, you don't feel it as warm as it is... They don't slip at all!!! I also added a shcoll insole and it's really perfect... I recommend them!!! Now I will buy them again after 2 and a half years
I bought them for a job that required non-slip, waterproof, and comfortable boots for long hours of walking and standing. The only thing I didn't have a problem with was that they were waterproof. They are heavy and incredibly slippery, and after a while, they left me with intense pain in my ankle
So, the first day I wore them after 2 hours of work in wet fields with wet grass due to the humidity, water got inside the boot. After 4 hours of work, the sock is almost completely wet
It seems like a very good boot, with a good sole and good grip on the ground.
The steel in the front of the toe is very good, nothing goes through.
Also, the waterproofing is as it should be so far.
I will update the review with the passage of time, of course, but for now, I recommend it for outdoor work.
Sturdy and warm.. No water passes through.. The positives are that it fits the heel area of the shoe very well and it is very good for walking.. The only negative would be the price, but for a shoe that provides comfort, I believe it is worth it...
update
I work at a gas station and I spilled oil on the industrial floor.. As I cleaned it with water, the shoes did not slip at all... No negatives so far..
update after 1 year
I will say it all.
Positives:
1. They remain waterproof.
2. They still suction cup.
3. I did not get any blisters from the inside, around the toe area.
Negatives:
1. The leather on the right side, from the inside, peeled off about 3 centimeters.
2. They cracked quite a bit where they bend, on the lower part of the tongue.
3. There was a small tear just above the heel on the inside.
Final result... Very nice shoe in terms of comfort, walking, and how it hugs the foot. It is warm enough to keep the foot warm, especially now in the heat, but it does not make the foot sweat so it doesn't feel uncomfortable. If someone is looking for a shoe for work at a gas station, I recommend it without hesitation.
