I'm sorry to say these are the most uncomfortable boots I have ever owned. The insert was removed after the first work day with these boots, my legs and lower back were on fire. The insert is just hard rubber, or so it feels. Threw in some heavy duty dr Scholls and a huge difference. Still they feel like your walking barefoot on concrete. Long break in, almost indefinitely long. Still feeling stiff and restricted, uncomfortable. Not to mention the tounge design is horrific. Extra stichting rubs your foot leaving it raw and painfull, especially on your ankles. It's always shifting side to side no matter how tight you make them, which you can't cause the shoelaces are so thin, you hurt your finger pulling fine stringlike laces. Im not a wide toe in any other boot or shoe, and yet these are stupid tight around my foot. Definitely get a wide toe if you still wanna try these boots. For me this is just not acceptable in the slightest for a huge brand like carhartt.
