Carolina Men's Well-X 12-inch Waterproof Composite Toe Ranch Wellington Logger Work Boot

Love the boots, great support, very comfortable to wear for long periods, I'm very happy I got them!

TLDR: I love these boots from the moment I put them on. It's a pretty good feeling when you put on a shoe and it immediately feels right; almost as if the manufacturer designed the shoe specifically for your foot. The CA9831 have more than met any expectation I have for a pull-on work boot. They are tall - taller than cowboy boots. Another reviewer stated to wear boot socks. Yes, wear over-the-calf knee high boot socks with these so you don't chafe your legs. Break in time was minimal and they fit perfect. There was a little heel slippage at first, but it went away after a few days of wearing them. If you've owned Carolina's they come from the factory pretty stiff, but once they break in, the boots are some of the most comfortable to wear for 8-12 hour days. These boots fit true to size. I'm a size 10 in most shoes. I also have high arches and slightly narrow feet. These fit my foot perfectly. For reference, I have a pair of CA 9821 lace up steel toe and love them for some of the more extreme logging and chainsaw work. Lace ups can be a real hassle though if you need to frequently take them off and put them on. I wanted a pair of boots very similar but in a Wellington pull on style.

This is a great boot for cold, wet construction sites. We have been doing a lot of trench work this winter and the boots have kept me dry and warm, and were comfortable from day 1. The toe box is wide (no pinched pinky toe) and they fit well. I suggest long johns or tall socks the first week, because these are taller than most wellingtons and rubbed my legs raw on the sides. For a Fall/Winter work boot they are very nice, and I've been wearing pull-on work boots exclusively for 25 years.
