Comments about Timberland Men's Mudslinger Steel Toe Mid Hiker:

Shoes have 3 major things that make them ideal for people like me, 1 the have the safety requirements required by or lab(steel toe, electrical resistance, and oil). 2 they don't leave black marks on our floors, and 3 they have armored outer toe and a bumper-like piece for the heel for all those times you bump your foot against something that would normally nick scratch or mar your shoes, keeping them "nice-looking for a longer time. However the laces are always the 1st thing to go, they are strong and free moving (low friction) but they always break or wear threw their outer covering and than the outer part bunches up and the rope-looking strings stop you from tightening or tying your shoes and its hard to get a right sized shoe lace for these guys. The next thing to go (about 6 months of constant use is the inside heel part, this is caused by removing and putting on the shoe, not by wearing it, it wears a hole in the cushioning, about 2 months after that either the leather separates from the rubber or the rubber splits/cracks, this always happens on the "small toe side" of each shoe in 2 spots, one is where the steel toe piece ends and the other is two inches further back (the major flex points). The absolutely BEST thing about these shoes is they stay looking good under abuse longer than any of the other work shoe that I have bought and I get to spend up to $250 for any work shoe I want and as often as I need, so I have gone through 2 trash cans of work shoes (about $5,000 worth)I just recently threw them all away, because I wore them out to the point they were indecent. Remember when you look at all the other shoes on display, almost all of them are solid leather meaning you don't get any air down there, or they have too much venting and as we know the venting is the weakest point on a shoe, more than likely it will rip or deform. Yah the tong slides to one side but only a little bit and it doesn't require correction on your part, its realty just a look thing.
