Ad TecAdTec Men's 8 Inch Farm Boot-M

Review for Ad Tec 8” leather Farm BootSize 12 Wide. Sizing is true to size and no appreciable difference in sizing between this boot and Rocky or Keen brand boots. This boot far exceeds my expectations for a boot in this price range. It is a basic unlined leather boot made from what appears to be excellent quality leather. The box toe is roomy and comfortable when wearing medium weight work socks. The insole is adequate but not exceptional. There is moderate arch support built into the boot itself and additional arch support could be added with the addition of appropriate insoles. The tongue is sueded leather and lightly padded. The tongue is gusseted for the first 2 1/2” - 3”. I would prefer the gusset to extend at least half way up the tongue so be advised if you require this feature in your boot. For my use the limited gusset is fine and is somewhat cooler in hot weather. The tongue stays in place when the boot is laced up and is very comfortable. The laces are top notch and the lacing hooks are high quality and strong enough that I can’t bend them closed with one hand. The soles are typical and commonly used on this type boot. This type boot used to be referred to as a “carpenter’s” boot although it usually had a moc toe instead of a box toe. I specifically wanted this type sole because it does not pick up mud while also being thick and comfortable. This would be a disadvantage if you are working outside on uneven terrain and need deeper lug soles for traction. This is an excellent boot at twice the price, very well built and very comfortable with a roomy protective box toe that gives moderate protection without the need for a steel toe in normal conditions. Takes a couple of days to completely break in but not uncomfortable to begin with. I have no idea how this boot with a Goodyear welt construction can be sold for the current price and my guess is it won’t be for long especially with economic conditions and inflation being what they are.

Good boot for the money. The sole is soft. That's good and bad. Comfortable but it wears down a little quickly. I'm putting on a new sole soon. It's not hard to do. The uppers are fine and fit like a glove. I believe I have 10 months of every day use. That's about 3000 miles. So for under $80 it's a great deal. I used a arch support inner sole. They feel great. No deterioration of the uppers or stitching.

I've probably got about 30 hours of hard use in these so far, and I'm pretty happy with them. They are comfortable out of the box. The leather is pliable and the soles are soft. These are not a daily boot for me; they are mostly used on the weekends when I put in long days in my backyard orchard, digging, planting, pulling, filling, etc. So far, they are worth the money.My primary concerns are the following: The sole is soft, so the edge of a shovel seems to chew them up a bit. Also, the soles are smooth, so they probably weren't the greatest choice for me since my property is mostly sloped, and rocky. This isn't a defect, just maybe not the best sole for me. Also, in my experience, soft soles mean they'll break down fast. That hasn't happened yet, but we'll see. Ultimately, I'd recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable, rugged boot out of the box. I'm not sure how they'd hold up to hard daily wear, but so far they seem up to the task.

I had to return the boot because my left foot pinkie felt a bit tight. OK...I am 60+ years old and my bone structure is changing. I did not wish a blister while wearing them all day in the yard. They did not have a wider width boot for me to buy so I had to return them. I am giving it 5 stars because it was a very fine boot to wear when I tired them on and walked with them in my home. I did not want a lug sole that would bring mud into the house when I wiped the boots on the outside carpet.It is not a heavyweight boot and I was not expecting it to be one. I am not working construction. I got it to work on my 2 acres. By the well, the boot did NOT smell as one reviewer posted. Even if it did, leather does not keep its "smell' when it is worn outside.

Nice knock offs.Laces weren't long.Color is fading on toesWorth trying

I had to wait about 6 weeks for these boots (10W) but they were well worth the wait. Perfect fit and very comfortable right of of the box. Spent about 8 hours in them first day working around the hobby farm and am very impressed. They seem to be very good quality.
