CAT Women's Tess Steel Toe Work Boot

Love the boots. Very light weight, sturdy, flexible for moving your foot around (not too tight on the laces to flex your foot), and Cody padding on the inside. True to size. My only complaint is with the packaging. The light suede had some stuffs on it due to there being no wrapping no paper or desperation with the boots. I assume during delivery the boots were rubbing up against the other boot/ box causing these marks. Since they are for work and I know they are bound to get marks within the first day, I wasn’t too upset but I know this could be upsetting for others expecting perfectly new looking boots upon arrival.

I've bought and worn steel toe boots for the better part of 10 years with my work and these are the first CAT boots I've bought. They look as good in person as in the photos and are the first pair of steel toe boots that I think look nice enough and feel comfortable enough to wear as hiking boots or with a regular jeans outfit. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. The fabric at the top is a nice touch, providing comfort for wearing lower socks. I'd purchase these again and recommend them!

The boot is a steel toe work boot, yet very comfortable not heavy or tight fit near the toe. Most new boots are tight and have to be broken in, these are roomy already

I didn't realize my work shoes could actually be comfortable and not hurt my feet until I broke these in. I do have two complaints. The fabric in the heel is the dumbest thing ever. There is a seam right behind your heel. Worse design ever. After your feet get used to it then it won't bother you. It's incredibly annoying until you hit that point. Also, there's not anything, it seems like, between the steel toes and your foot. I've ruined every single pair of bamboo socks I own wearing these. You have to wear THICK socks.WaterproofComfortableDurability (so far)

I has to return the 1st Pais because it was to big. I had to go two sizes down. I received my second pair and they fit perfect so light and comfortable.

So, I've been looking for a pair of work boots that are made for women, and I was really excited when I first got these. They were comfortable, had great support. I thought, for $100, surely, SURELY, these ones would last me.Y'all. I got these mid-december, so holidaze. Then I got covid, and took a month off work. So, I didn't even get *2 months* of work in, and they're falling apart.I am SO. FRIGGING. TIRED. Of work boots made for women having NO damn durability. I've got little feet (size 7 in women's, which 5.5 in guys--men's? Boys? It's right in the middle), so it's damn near impossible for me to find 'actual' work boots. You know, the ones sold to men, because they are the only ones who 'actually' need durability? 🥴Just like women's work pants/jeans, which cost an arm and a leg but get within eyesight of something sharp and rip, women's work boots evidently can't handle anything remotely close to daily construction work.So, I'm paid less, hassled more, AND have to pay more for gear that won't last me 1/3 the life of the men's version.Thing is, I really want to save up and just get some Red Wings. But ya know what I can't do when I need to get a pair of "I need something that will keep me safe NOW" boots for $100/pop every 3 months? Save up for a pair of decent boots with a guarantee. But I WILL spend that much, ANNUALLY, for crap, condescending as hell, "girls don't work hard" boots that will fall apart on me.DUDE. DO BETTER.

Comfortable, looks good

These boots take a little bit to break in, but they will last you, and they are so comfortable and very lightweight to be steel toe
