I Love Carhartt Boots!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great boot. But it would be nicer to have it made as a 6 inch boot as well.

They are warm and comfortable and didn't take too long to break in. But that is part of a problem. On the inside portion of the boot near the arch of the foot there is a one-inch or so long seam. It breaks on the inside and then compromises the waterproof rating. It will then act like a pump with each stepping action to pull water into the boot. The insulation is a benefit in dry and cold environments, but with the introduction of water, puddles, rain, etc. and the break in this seam, it becomes soggy quickly. I got this pair in December, wore them through January until mid May, which is when the seam broke. I expect boots to take a beating and eventually break irrepairably with the work I do, but this was less than my normal expectation, which is a little over a year. I am disappointed as I normally buy Carhartt boots for work, this is the first pair that had a significant issue in less than a year.

It Could Be Better

This one has to have the Goodyear welt feature or direct attached or a 3/4 welt . I have really bad neuropathy that I'm not even 40 yet I'll be 40 in 2 months And it's a shame of this boot is not 600 to 1000 g

Decent Boot

I'm about 7 months into eating this boot and I am happy with it so far. They are comfortable and warm and at the end of the day they did their job. I had been warned about Carrhartts boots in the past so it's nice to see I didn't waste my money. That being said, I do have a few issues. The rubber on the toe wore through relatively quickly to the point where I can see the alloy shining through, though it hasn't become an issue yet. I also find that the laces also slip out of their knot easily so that I keep having to retie them during a lot of very active work. It took longer to break in than I'm accustomed to, during which the high ankles would pinch whenever I squatted. It went away once broken in though. All in all, good for it's price and it works as advertised.

Not good at all, I have a bruise on my inner right ankle due to the boot folding itself when I walk. Not sure if it's too late to return which I would love to. I wish I could of given it 0 rating.

They are comfortable. Kinda ate my heel up a bit but they are new boots so it is expected. But over all I am very happy with them.

Perfect Fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The materials, color, and safety attributes of these boots initially appealed to me. I wear work/safety boots six days a week, 12+ hours a day. The Carhartt Ironwood boots fit exactly right, and are unexpectedly comfortable. The soles absorb shock and are comfortable all day. The insulation is just right too. My feet usually sweat in boots, but stayed very warm did not sweat in these. The only improvement I would make is to use something other than hiking boot laces. I’m very satisfied with them and would highly recommend.
