DRKA Men's Steel Toe Work Boots Water Resistant Safety Shoes

Husbands likes these boots because the material is not as heavy, it's the second ones from DRKA. The last a long time even though he puts them through a lot of hard labor. Comfortable. The color doesn't made it hot. The first ones were black now he is trying the dark brown.

I'm really picky with shoes when it comes to steel toe and slip resistant, work in a restaurant and a warehouse, so I really need both and this ones really get my approval on those aspects. My naked feet is 10.5", so I bounce between, 10 1/2 and 11 size shoes, this ones doesn't come in 10 1/2, so I was thinking in order 11, however the advertising keep saying true size, so I ended up ordering 10, when they arrive came in a little tiny box, really pack together, didn't like that and expected a really cheap shoes... I was wrong, first of all they fit perfectly, and look great, tested the steel toe with a magnet and a hammer and pass the test easily, the only doubt I had was the slip resistant since the soles didn't look like the regular slip resistant shoes (those little honeycombs) and every shoe I try that doesn't have those soles fail with the grease of the restaurant, no matter what the advertising say... anyway, I gave them a try, and the grip was amazing, they are truly slip resistant, steel toe and water resistant, true size and looks amazing. And as a little plus, usually the shoe laces in the boots are either too long or too short, but this ones are the perfect size, so they really beat the competition here and of course, the price is really good. I will definitely buy my next pair from them, really pleased, really recommend.

When I received these I wasn't sure how they were going to fit and in fact when I initially tried them on they seemed a little big.. once I got them laced up however, they seemed a little better.. they'll be used working on a job site in the next couple of weeks in the upper Midwest where it tends to rain quite a bit so I wore them today to break them in and they were surprisingly comfortable .. all in all very happy with them.. no discomfort and nothing to complain about. Good price

Ok, I`ve been wearing these boots for almost 8 months now and now I can write a review. First; I put my own arch support in which means I had to cut theirs off so it would fit. Second; It takes about one minute or less for the feel of my arch to feel comfortable. Once that's good then I can wear them all day with no problems. Third; When they say "no slip" they really are no slip. I work on wet floors with no fear of slipping. When I`m in the freeze and I`m carrying 70lbs of boxes I don`t worry that I`ll slip. Fourth; There is no sign of the boot coming apart like all the other boots that I`ve had had done. So it looks like I finally found a work boot that I will stick with, considering I already purchased 4 more pairs, so I`m good to go for several years. It's been 15 months now and I've replaced 1 shoelace and one of the shoelace loops at the bottom came off but that didn't effect anything. It's showing wear and tear but these boots take a beating. These boots are awesome. I wish I found them 35 years ago. Well, they lasted 15 months, well Worth the price and then some. Also, I didn't cut their arch support off this time I just put my insert on top, I didn't feel any difference. I bought 5 pairs of these boots back in June of 2023, it's now the last couple of days of 2025 and I'm only on my 2nd pair. Looks like I'll be retiring before I get through all 5 pairs. You need these boots. Honestly, I wish I really did know about these 37 years ago!

Excelent I will buy Another

I needed these boots for work but I was tight on money. They got me by for a month before I started to have major issues. I finally bought proper boots and the difference in quality and comfort is almost immeasurable. These work for temporary and cheap boots. Pros: They fit as expected. Kept my feet dry in snow and rain. Easy to clean and wipe off. Cons: (really my full review) Since I first got them, the comfort was just okay. My pinky toe did rub a little on the side of the boot and caused some minor discomfort that was noticeable at the end of a work day. The steel toe is bad, but it's better than nothing. It has saved my toes a few times from accidental kicks or drops. While outside of its intended use case, I used the steel toe to prop up the edge of a dryer. Maybe about 50 pounds of weight or less for 3 minutes. There is a noticeable and permanent sag on that steel toe. Real steel should not have been affected at all so I am curious at what kind of metal quality is bring used. Also after about 13 days of use, the sole started to slide around in the boot and gave me lower traction and increased discomfort. I thought about getting new sole inserts but its really not worth it. The tread of the boots have no grip on smooth flat surfaces such as the metal flooring in my box truck. It is also bad in packed snow and ice. (My new and expensive boots handle these no problem). They also have low traction on smooth surfaces like the finished concrete in a warehouse. There really was no "break-in" period but they did get slightly more comfortable after 2 or 3 days. But, after about 10 days they started to get more uncomfortable to wear including issues like mentioned above with the soles sliding. Overall, if you need temporary boots like I did or if you will rarely use them, I would recommend it. However, I fully recommend investing in more expensive and quality boots if and when you are able.

First off, buy some kevlar laces. These laces broke in 2 months. Kevlar laces have more rigidity to them, and these are sleek. You'll need rigidity to hold each partition of lace as you move on to tighten the next one. Slippery laces are a pain to keep taut. But don't let that make you think that the boot isn't quality. I've bought $85 Timberlands and $130 Diluthe boots...I gotta say, I would choose to wear these. And I paid $45! Passed the laces, I forget I'm wearing steel toes. I do not get the steel toe pinch when I walk with these, because of a flexible material they put on the top of the boot. That is always the biggest problem with steel toes. Now I have the $40 pair of Dr Scholls food pads in the boot, from day 1, because arch support is so important, so I can't speak to the comfort of the naked shoe. I am so impressed with the quality for the price, that I will continue to buy this boot when they wear out. I'd take a picture to show you the condition but I'm too lazy. It's been 4 month and they're still together fine.

I had bought these boots a couple of years ago before they were updated, and that previous pair was outstanding. I walk anywhere from 6,000 to 23,000 steps a day on concrete, and the first pair held up well outside of putting in some new insoles at one point and having to replace the laces. And they were comfortable. So when those finally started to show some wear, I was happy to replace them with the updated model that now shows on the product page. Unfortunately, these new boots are not good. They look fine and so far are holding up, but the insole is horribly flawed. It's hard to describe the problem clearly, but I'll try. There is basically a ridge on the inside of the insole that drops sharply going in towards the middle of the boot. The effect is that this section of the insole juts up and very uncomfortably puts constant pressure on the inside of the arch of my foot. I thought maybe it would wear in and not be so bad, but it didn't. So I got some insoles hoping that with some extra cushion over the area it wouldn't be so uncomfortable. But it didn't make the problem go away. I just cannot recommend the boots because of what I can only describe as this major design flaw. I don't know what they were thinking with that weird hump in the insole. Maybe it was supposed to provide support for your arch? But whatever the plan was, it is a failure. Now I'm left trying to figure out how long I can put up with this discomfort before I have to shell out more money on my limited budget for yet another pair of boots. Very disappointing.
