Maelstrom Men's Tactical Work Boots with Side Zipper – Lightweight Leather Military Style, Comfortable, Durable and Breathable for Outdoors

Q: I wear a size 8 in shoes, what size should i go with?

Honestly, I personally would go with one size up. The ones I got were very snug until they broke in, but still feel tighter than I like.It seems to me that shoe size differs from boot, at least to me! I ordered my sneaker fit size, but should have gone with my previous boot fit which is one size up from what I wear in sneakers and shoes. Good boots for the price, only lasted about 7 months before they started to need repairs. Good luck!

Q: are this good for snow?

They are really a good boot. Couple of in. of snow.AOK. But they are not water proof that I known of. I just ordered another pair.

Q: I wear a 9 1/2 regular shoe should I get a 10 or do they run big

I defiantly disagree that these run big.. I usually wear a 11 or 11.5 wide, and I ordered an 11 W based on answers here, but the toe box was so narrow that I could barely squeeze my foot in; and that was after taking the laces almost completely off and working and stretching them to try and loosen them up.. I had to go back and look at the box and read the label several times to make sure it was an 11W.. and the labels confirmed.. I'd probably have to go to a 12 or 13 W to get one to fit, but I'm just returning and trying something else.. too bad.. they looked like great deal

Q: I am extremely hard on shoes. How resilient are these? How much protection do they offer from stepping on sharp objects, water, slipping, cold, etc.?

i have had my pair for about 6 months now and have not had a problem.I work as an EMT and this is a good everyday wear boot.they have kept my feet dry and warm through all kinds of weather.When the time comes for another pair i will buy these again
