Skechers Men's Verdict Men's Boot

Comment

I had bought a cheap $20 pair of boots at Walmart and they were absolute garbage. I took them back, went to JC pennies and tried on a pair of these shoes that fit me. I then order that same size here on Amazon because they were cheaper than the ones at JC pennies. Anyways I use these boots for welding and they work awesome. They actually have weight to them and use really nice leather. Definitely some good bang for your buck. Really good color too

Ive read some other reviews giving this shoe one star because they run small. Its true, they do run small. I normally wear a 10 1/2; had to return for an 11. But once the fit was right I found that this was a warm, comfy shoe, easily broken in by the 3rd or 4th wearing. Any work boot requires breaking in. As for waterproof, I wore these for a walk through dewy grass the first morning I had them. Not sure if it was my imagination or not but I sensed some dampness around my right big toe. So I used some mink oil around the threaded area, let it sit overnight, and now theyre fine. So I recommend this shoe for comfort and durability; just be aware to order a half size larger than your normal shoe size, and have some mink oil or other waterproofing material on hand.

Update: Its been 9 months, and the boots are still fantastic. Theyre the most comfortable boot Ive ever owned. The microfiber does need cleaned to stay looking like it did when it was new, but I wear these all day, every day, and they have held up. They are perfect for everyday use. I am extremely happy with them and just bought the black pair. I hope they also live up to the expectations. These boots were good as expected. Thy were a bit pricey, but I cannot complain. They fit true to size and are extremely comfortable and warm. They are probably perfect fall and winter boots, and the charcoal color looks very sharp. The only "complaint" I have isnt really a complaint, but just something to be aware of: that they are very well insulated. The tongue is thick, and the boots are waterproof, so your feet stay very warm. If you work in the cold elements, or your feet get cold easy, then youll be happy. If you walk a lot and need a fall/winter boot and dont mind breaking in a heavier boot, these are for you. If you like a fall color to wear with jeans and long sleeves, again, these are for you. If you live in the south and want these to work in a factory or construction, or to wear out in the summer, you may want to find boots that breathe more/better. Overall 5 stars, would purchase again.

I purchased these particular boots because I thought the Skechers name would mean quality & truth in the claim that they are waterproof. While the fit is good & the boots are comfortable, they are most definitely not waterproof. I look after a car wash on weekends, walking on wet surfaces & being exposed to a good deal of light spray/mist. At the end of each day, the toe section of my socks are damp/wet from water soaking through the toe of the boots, from the top. The boots are stamped "waterproof" & even have a metal tag in the laces, saying "waterproof", but my damp feet can attest to the fact that they most certainly are not.

These state they have a "memory foam" insert. About the only padding I can find is the over stuffed tongue. The rest seems to be made of plywood. The leather seems to be a good quality and the sole seems to be made of quality rubber. Its all very stiff. Hopefully they break in quickly, or they are going in the trash. One month update: They are very not waterproof. Even though the term is on each boot four times, it doesnt work. Maybe less time writing it and more time making them waterproof. The memory foam still hasnt appeared. Buy me feet are starting to conform to the boot instead. The leather upper has seemed to break in, so that part is working well. TLDR: Not a good hiking boot, not a good work boot. Would look good on a shelf if you wanted to say you had a pair of boots.
