Georgia Boot Men's Waterproof Logger Boot

What a GREAT work boot!!! I could not be more pleased with these boots. EXCELLENT quality.Georgia Boot Men's Georgia 8" Logger Boot Work Shoe,Chocolate,11 M USI'm not a professional logger so i don't need a really "heavy leather" work boot. However, having grown up and into my college years felling pulp wood and timber as well as selling firewood i know what the professional loggers in my area wore. I no longer need boots like that.I ordered these from Amazon so could not try them on in person. I read reviews where some folks found them too small, others complained they were too large so I ordered a size 11M (my normal length and width). BANG!!!! Perfect fit. My feet are like duck feet - heel is a bit narrow and forefoot is a bit wide. Also, my feet are "thin" not "thick" from the sole of my foot to the top so it can be difficult to find boots that fit me well (minimal heel slip, good support across the top of my foot above the arch, etc).This is a *very* high quality work boot. The leather is supple and very easily "broke in". I wore my boots around the office for a couple days to get the tongue and kiltie set as well as getting the ankle and forefoot flexing on a "neutral" surface (level ground) before wearing it in a "working" situation.One reason this boot is easily broke in is that it is not a "heavy" leather boot (which make boots very stiff with difficult ankle and forefoot flexing). By heavy leather, I mean from about 2.8mm to +3mm thick full-grain leather. For example, my heavy hiking and mountaineering boots are both +3mm Idro Perwanger Italian leather and were very stiff initially (though the mid-sole construction/material/insulation affected that as well).I suspect this boot is in the 2.6mm range, even though Georgia Boot says it's full-grain it doesn't seem like other thick full-grain leather boots. To me, it means that this boot will probably not resist gouging as well as the heavier, thicker professional $400/pair logging boots. These are not $400 boots.But these ARE excellent $130.00 boots.I seriously doubt there is a better, longer-lasting, higher-performing boot in this price range.Another reason these boots break in so easily is that they do not have a thick, rigid or semi-rigid "mid-sole" that is super stiff like professional logging boots use. These boot mid-soles and soles are pleasantly semi-flexible and provide a great balance between being like sneakers and being like mountaineering (or ski) boots. They flex with your foot like when you're kneeling to pick something up - not like a plank that just won't bend.The soles (and the material they're made from) are very good. I've been wearing my boots around the homestead here working on different things and they give excellent traction. I recently wore my boots while cleaning gutters, the chimney, inspecting shingles, etc and the material of the sole is soft enough to be "grippy" on the shingles, but has been hard enough when I've needed to stomp a shovel in the hard, dry ground turning soil to irrigate trees without flopping around like a tennis shoe or some cheap "wannabe" work boots.One thing to note about the sole material. It is soft like mud tires on a bicycle, motorcycle or truck. They do really well in mud, dirt, gravel, etc but wear quickly if you drag your feet on cement or asphalt.These boots are comfortable like an old, favorite pair of boots that are almost worn out - but these are brand spanking NEW!!!!Finally, these boots are "waterproof" enough for me - they haven't soaked through as i've been pressure washing stuff around the homestead. Your needs may be different, but for me they're waterproof "enough".They're great boots and i doubt you'll be disappointed.PS - I do not work for Georgia boot or Amazon and received nothing from them for this review.

I work in landscaping, so my footware can go from dry to wet to caked in mud back to dry and wet again in the matter of an hour and I've been looking for a decent boot that doesn't break the bank that's also comfortable, waterproof and has a hard toe and these are holding up great ( so far 1 month of use, about 8-10 miles/day, 6 days a week). I go thru about 2 pairs every year, and I've realized buying expensive boots that'll inevitably bust out on me isn't the way to go any longer, and for the price and rubber upper with leather, I figured I'd give these a try. I'm a true size 13 but some boots I need a 14 for width, and my only two qualms with these are 1.) the toe box is a smidge too tight depending on the socks I wear (they're not "insulated" but they're damn near insulated so a thinner sock could absolutely work for most).2.) the laces are basically cooked spaghetti. I'd recommend having a spare set of laces on hand to swap out when they do break, or get ahead of it and replace them immediately and use the ones it came with as backupOverall so far, 8.5/10. If I got a size 14 instead of 13 I think they'd be too roomy so I don't mind a thinner sock, and the laces are just awful but that doesn't take away from the build of the boot.

I bought these primarily for work but they look so good I wear them when I’m riding as well. Good sturdy boots, well made and the lace-to-toe is a nice look.

I paid $150 for these, and not 45 days after I started wearing them, they started letting water in. The thread that connected the rubber lower and leather upper started to come apart on the upper left part of the right shoe. I called Amazon to see if I could get them fixed or replaced, but since it was after 30 days, I’m just stuck with the crap end of the stick. It’s a shame because these are nice boots, but do you really wanna be left with useless boots and out $150 two months after you buy them? I wouldn’t if I were you. Guess I shouldn’t expect anything better here in 2024, where everything costs twice as much and lasts half as long as it should🤦‍♂️

I love my husband in these

The toe box is just not wide enough. I don't have an unusually wide foot but I ordered a 12 Wide because I knew a work boot needs to be comfortable and sometimes you need to ware a thick sock. Well unfortunately the boots are still not wide enough. I'm hoping they will get better as I break them in but that is rarely the case. Otherwise the boots look great and they seem high quality. Hoping for the best.

It turned out to be very well made. And the price I paid for was way cheaper than it to boot store. And they're quality brand so win-win for me. I would suggest these Georgia logger boots to anyone in the industry for price and quality you can't match

These boots are exactly what my husband wanted. They give him all the comfort and protection that he needs in a work boot. He has to have steel toed boots to work in the paper mill, and with the strong chemicals and water he often has to step in, he needs water proof boots that will resist the erosion of the chemicals. He averages 2 pairs of boots a year. These have been the best boots he's had so far and he specifically requested another pair. I found the best bargain on Amazon and they arrived promptly. I will surely order these for him again & again. Highly recommended for anyone working in an industrial type of job. Also, our son-in-law was formerly a landscaper and he also loved these boots, although I'm not sure if he bought the ones with steel toes or not.
