For the record, they were comfortable (before they fell apart!).
I had always liked Magnum boots, but unfortunately, they don't make anything that meets my employer's safety requirements.
I wasn't terribly worried about it (getting a replacement through Converse), as my employer supplied them, and they subsequently purchased another pair of boots, albeit a different brand (LaCrosse). That pair was just recently replaced after 1 year of service. But that was only because the soles were worn thin, so they're getting resoled.
Now, I would like to mention, again for the record and fairness... My first message was posted before I went to work. I just got home from work a little bit ago (is it sad that my life revolves around INGO?). I do routinely walk on grated platforms, come in contact with oils, chemicals, coal, dirt, mud, etc, etc etc. The Converse pair that I had were purchased from Cintas and had the safety toe, were electrical hazard rated, at 8".
Carry on.
so your converse boots werent the same ones i reviewed then? im not saying all converse boots are good. im just speaking to the 6" side zip rapid response desert boot with soft toe
Do you have a link to the specific boot you bought? I followed your link to the general site and did a search, but I don't think I found the particular boot you were reviewing.
PS - did you ever post about that sweet deal when it was still going on?! Come on! You gotta share the knowledge, bro!
I'm not that big. That said, I wear size 16 shoes... I don't fall over easily....
I buy all my shoes online. Virtually no local stores stock anything in my size.
