Great aesthetics, take a while to break in!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2021

Took me a while to break them in and they gave me horrendous blisters but after a while they are comfy and fit for purpose, I think there is probably better options out there but if it’s aesthetics you are looking for then they do look great!

I served in the Marines. I purposely waited to give a review on these boots. I have worn countless boots. These boots are not worth the money. Even with the additional loops on the tongue of the boot they still managed to come loose during heavy use. I took a photo of the sole of the boot to show I did not wear them everyday and they have plenty of tread left but they still are coming apart.
My first impression when I first put them on was they were sturdy and need to be broken in. After a year of wear they are still very uncomfortable and are falling apart before they feel broken in. I have $60 addidas sneakers that have taken more abuse and have outlasted these boots.
If your a weekend warrior and like the "look" you will love these. If you need a reliable pair of duty boots these are not for you.

NOT a half size bigger.

So many reviews say to order a size up. DO NOT. They are exact sizing. I usually wear a 10.5 and ordered an 11 but they were too big. Order your real size. Viktos footwear has a wide toe box so it makes their shoes/boots fit better. These boots are awesome looking and well made. The break in period is long though since the material is very hard due to it all being 100% synthetic. As far as traction goes it's not the best, the rubber becomes very hard when it's cold and becomes very slippery on ice or snow. Viktos makes decent stuff, not great stuff, lol.

EDIT 11/2021 - Almost a year later and I still cant break them in. They kill my feet.

Poor traction

For starters they look cool. They're alittle stiff, but that is to be expected with new boots. My major complaint about them is they have very poor traction. I'm easily sliding around on a little puddle on asphalt.

Ankle stabbing, was hoping for more

Reviewed in the United States on 21 May 2021

I bought these for work since I'm in my feet all day in a wet environment and have been coming home with sore arches the last couple months. The size may have been off but where the tongue meets the rest of the shoe there is a sharp bump that was stabbing the insides of my ankles. This made the shoe unbearable for me and I tried adjusting the toung and laces but the bump remained there no matter what I did on both shoes. The insoles didn't seem like anything special and at the price if $140 I was expecting more. The shoes looked decent aesthetically but honestly looked bigger, bulkier and cheaper in person. I ended up returning them and went to a local boot store and got some wolverine water proof boots for $150 and boy can you tell the difference in quality. I hope someone likes these boots because they have potential but for me it was a big no.

Great quality, reasonably comfortable, very tough yet mobile

I work in a very wet indoor environment, concrete floors, 40+ hours a week. I'm lucky to have a pair of boots survive 1 year before the soles seperate, or they just begin to tear. Now I'm just trying these out. So far they run a little big. I use a 8.5 in sneakers and any other soft toe boot. I ordered an 8.5 here and they feel a little more like a 9. Not a bad thing, I dont mind the breathing room. The ankle is a little stiff, which for some may be desirable, for me its so-so. Everything else about the boot is great. Nicely waterproof, breathes well, strong laces and tongue. Very comfortable to walk in.

Best boots.

Excellent quality boots. Wide toe box makes a big difference in comfort from other boots I've tried. They look great too. Size runs slightly small it seems. I ordered a half size up. Sole grip on slippery surfaces 7/10. Build quality/durability 10/10.

Only downside is the laces. They keep loosening, and are too short to double-knot. Get some new laces. Not really any padding on the upper (calf) area, but that was not a problem for me, but something to consider.

If you have a high instep this will fit small

Plenty of room in the toes, wide and length, but if you have a high instep you will struggle to put thes boots on.

Was looking for a multi-purpose shoe that could be worn with jeans, to the range, in the snow/rain, over while working outside. Did a lot of research and decided to try these and I’m glad I did. light weight, great traction and feels like I’m wearing sneakers. Already ordered a second pair and these will be my daily shoes unless I am in formal attire.

Decent boots, made in China.

Reviewed in the United States on 26 February 2021

Starts out a bit stiff, but breaks in nicely. Very light weight. Durability seems questionable as the materials seem cheap but only time will tell, so far im enjoying them, the only thing that disappoints me is that these boots are of course made in China and not here in the states, i had a feeling that was the case but at least now i know, ill run them till they die but wont buy another pair. Update, boots are already starting to fall apart, definitely will not buy another pair.
