Cat Footwear Women's Echo Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boot

Just as my title states, these are, by far, the BEST boots I have EVER owned. I'm a horse person, and have gone through a lot of different types of boots. I've also gone through different types of steel toes in both an industrial, and retail setting... Of all of the boots I've ever owned, these are the most comfortable, the best fitting, and the most durable. I forget entirely that I'm wearing steel toes until I hear the solid thunk of my toe hitting something I ran into. I've had these for two months, and they do not look like they are more than a few days out if the box. I just cleaned them with my passier lederbalm, and was amazed at how they became better than they already were. These boots definitely can pass when you need a dressier steel toe. I wear mine with both black work jeans, and black dress pants. They play the part of both dress styles extremely well. The support in these boots is just right. Not too little, or hard, leading you to aches of all kinds. Nor too soft/giving that everything just breaks down, including you. I put my orthotics in, and still have a very comfortable fit. I have wide feet at the ball of my foot, long feet, long toes, and skinny ankles. For the first time, my foot isn't squashed, my toes actually have room without the shoe being too long, and my boot doesn't flop around or wiggle on my foot. CAT, thank you so, so, so much for creating this boot. Words cannot express the true depth of my gratitude. I have a comfortable boot that meets all the requirements I have/need for safety (I'm PIT certified), AND look amazing regardless if whether I'm dressed to carry a million tools, or I'm dressed to impress the 'suits'.*Update*The lining in my boots has completely worn through at the heel... I've only had them for 3 months...

Fantastic boot!Bought these for my daughter, who likes full-height boots while hiking for the ankle support, and for their anti-bug capabilities. The top of the leg on this boot has an Anti-chafe soft leather collar, which works well to alleviate discomfort where it rubs your leg. Steel toe protects your toes, and the ankle support is excellent. Note: due to the construction and height of the boot, expect to have to break them in gradually over several weeks: these are not buy-and-wear boots suitable for an immediate long hike. You will need to break them in gradually. Also, you should learn a boot knot suitable for round laces, or simply double-knot the round laces: they have less friction than flat laces, and will loosen over a day of walking without a more substantial knot.

These CAT purple work boots are so comfortable! The color is beautiful. More of a periwinkle or lilac purple. Very light weight. I almost don’t feel like I’m wearing work boots. Super durable. Love the ankle coverage. ANSI certified and perfect for all job sites. True to size.

These boots are very comfortable. I bought these to go volunteer for disaster relief. I had surgery a year ago on my ankle, these kept me sturdy and safe on very rough, wet/muddy terrain. I loved the waterproofing so I could rinse my boots from contaminants at the end of the day. I even fell through a floor and my ankle was safe.My only complaint is that I thought it had a steel shank to keep me safe from nails. A nail did go through the sole. Are these now not water resistant because of this hole? Are they still safe to use? I’d appreciate a response from Cat as these weren’t cheap.Pardon the bloody boot pic, that’s at the hospital after I feel through a rotted floor. Thankful my ankle was safe.

I needed a pair of steel toe boots for stagehand work. I was testing the waters when I took up the position. I didn't know how long I'd be doing this kind of work, so I didn't want to spend tons of money for something I'd use for just a short period of time. (Quality steel toe boots are typically spendy.) At the same time, I didn't want a cheap pair either because cheap = low quality. I learned it the pretty hard way after my nice-looking $25 pair of steel toe boots fell apart after just about eight months or so. That said, I'm so glad I've found a pair of Cat Echo that was easy on the wallet. I scored a great deal on a used one here on Amazon. It was most likely gently used or previously had never been worn at all since it practically looked and felt brand-new. So far, it's a good pair of boots. Sure, it's not as comfortable as wearing slippers, but it has plenty of cushion, which makes it a lot easier for me to stand and walk for long periods. I don't even have to buy extra cushioned insoles. The pair also looks stylish. It also fits me just fine. It feels roomy for my narrow, small feet. I've read complaints in this review section on how it's too narrow for some people, but I have no issues whatsoever. Everybody is different, and every body is different. The only issue is that I hurt my ankle when I tightened up the laces, but I've found that if I lace the boots loosely but securely, I'm pretty much OK. It looks like this pair of boots is pretty versatile. I plan to use it for hiking too.

I work in the tool rental department of a well known home improvement store. After soaking my feet a handful of times while cleaning tools.....and also dealing with big, heavy machines, I decided it was time to get a good pair of waterproof work boots. I got these and they are WONDERFUL!!! I've had them a little under a month and haven't gone home with wet feet aftet a work day since. They are definitely waterproof. They are also soooooo comfortable. There's good ankle support. Honestly, the best part about them is that they are safety rated and with a steel toe, but not at all bulky like most steel or composite toe shoes/boots are. As a female who has worked previous jobs that require steel or composite toe, it's hard to find a good pair of shoes/boots that meet the requirements without also looking like you have clown feet. These are pretty great. Comfortable....sleek for steel toe, waterproof, annnnnnd super cute!!! I've gotten several compliments on them because of the color.
