Review: Nice Ems boot, well made and a good value **UPDATED*** ***2nd UPDATE*** - I am a paramedic and use this boot for work. I was skeptical at first due to the low price. Boots usually last me around 6-8 months, I am very hard on them. I will update this as I use them more but I will list my first impressions below. Pros: Very lightweight boot, I don't feel weighed down but it still seems to have plenty of traction. I have used it so far in muddy conditions, as well as climbing up hills and going through puddles. My feet are staying dry and the boot seems to clean up pretty easily. The zipper works nice and does not seem to get jammed up. The value is outstanding, it fits the same as my bates boots and feels like a 511 in terms of comfort. It is blood borne resistant. Cons: The leather feels thinner than other boots I have owned, not sure how this will play out in the long run. Overall: it is a nice boot for the money 49.99 on desertcart. It arrived very quickly took 3 days free shipping. I am satisfied with my purchase. I will update this review in about a month. 2 month update: I wear these at work I on average work 72-96 hours a week, these boots have been in rain, mud, oil spills, gas leaks, and house fires. They have held up very well, the only evidence of any damage is one scuff mark on the top of the boot. In wet conditions my feet have stayed dry and warm. They seem to grip the surface well. The best feature I have found so far is they are very lightweight, and after a day on my feet I don't feel like I am dragging them. I highly recommend this. 1 year 5 month update: I figured my boots were getting a little too scratched up, so I would order another pair. I cannot believe these boots have lasted over a year and 5 months. I still wear them everyday. The zipper and Velcro both are working fine. I have polished them a total of 5 times, they have been in rain, sleet, snow, mud, salt, oil, fuel spills, and any other disaster you can name. My feet stay dry in them, I have no complaints. These are a great boot, they are starting to show their age but just from being worn out, never thought I could say that about a boot. I will try to attach some pictures. I am buying new ones today, but will continue to use these around the farm. I will post another update when they finally break. I am also going to try to add some photos of the boots. The pictures of the boots are ones that are over a year and a half old (2nd pair purchased) I am still happy with them, they have lasted. I am not easy on my boots. I have not been compensated in any way shape or form.
Review: Good Boots - A good, well-padded boot. True to size, 12w fit me perfectly. The boots are real leather and take a great shine. They can be laced GI style for anyone with sensitive metatarsals. The foam inserts they come with are reasonably comfortable . Very impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great boots...the good, the bad and the ugly
*by A***D on November 23, 2025*

Good: Extremely comfortable boots. Lace system is fire and forget. Side zip makes it easy to slip in and slip out. Nice and warm in winter paired with wool socks and just as comfortable in summer with wool socks. Good feel and grip. One of the most comfortable work boots i have ever owned even for the price they are amazing. Its so good that just realized that I never thought about purchasing inserts...that's how comfortable these boots are out the box. Bad: The wear and tear. It will start showing signs of wear and tear pretty fast. If you use this boot sparingly it still shows it. Use it a lot and it will wear fast. The soles and side zip seem to be the more problem prone issues. Seams near zipper can go. Laces fray. The soles wear fast. Ugly: When it falls apart it is catastrophic. Soles come completely apart. The thread becomes a hazard as it has no grip and hydroplanes in wet weather. The zipper becomes jammed. Side strap loses its grip. Laces fray completely. At times the waterproof feels like it loses its properties. Overall I feel like its a great boot for the price. Its not going to win any long term test since by 6-7 months of heavy use it will fall apart. But the one thing that it will stick out its the comfort and ease of use. You might spend twice as much for similar boot that might last similar time or more but the comfort level might not be on par. These are great boots to fire and forget. Comfort is key when wearing work boots and these are a 10/10 in that department but as far as longevity and durability these are 4 out 10 or at best 5 out of 10. For about $100 a year for comfortable work boots...Its a great deal really.
