I'm a custodian at the student union of a state university, being on my feet 8+ hours a day, with my feet exposed to all forms of water, cleaning chemicals, food service grease/oil, and mileage up/down/around four floors of the building. My Cat Threshold brown boots gave me rugged and waterproof stability to get my work done for nearly 3.5 years until ... I accidentally scraped the left boot along a sharp metal edge of a floor machine and sliced the leather open. So I had to order a new pair, this time black. Before Cat, I had tried to work in other shoes and boots that literally fell apart after a few months of exposure to my workaday world. So I thank Cat for bootwear that durably and comfortably fits my feet and workload for the long run.

Very nice - just a few issues
I love these very comfortable and relatively light weight boots. I bought the wide version so I can fit my inserts inside. However, there are two issues to report. First, there is a raw seam inside the back of the heal. It is not padded and was an immediate rubbing problem. I solved it by spray-gluing a foam sheet pad inside. (See orange bit in photo). You can get the foam sheet cheap at a craft store. Problem easily solved. Wish it had come padded to begin with.Second, the sole heal began to disintegrate after just 3 weeks. I should note that I was in a very rugged and rocky camping environment. Maybe if you just wear them on a normal floor or job site, it might not be an issue. The heal takes the most abuse and should have been molded solid. It is a design flaw to have cuts molded into the heal. Once it started breaking, the crevice kept getting leaves and twigs stuck in it. I will try Shoo-Goo to repair it, but I know from experience that it won't last.I love these boots and these small issues will not make me return them, I just wish the designers had put a tiny bit more thought into them.

About a month ago I got the Cat Men's Waterproof Work Boots, and they are impressive. These are my thoughts:
1. WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT?
- These boots are well-made, sturdy, and designed to last. The materials feel and are premium as expected from Caterpillar. The design and colors are super nice, too, as these boots look good on and off the job site.
2. HOW DOES THIS PRODUCT PERFORM?
- They are completely waterproof and keep my feet dry. Compared to what I had, some boots from Walmart with steel toe, these boots provide great support, and the comfort level is through the roof. They are really lightweight, making long days in them just fly-by. Cleaning is easy, just wipe them with the wet cloth and that's it.
3. IS THE PRODUCT EASY TO USE?
- It is extremely easy to put them on. Slip them on, lace them up, and you're good to go.
4. IS THE PRODUCT A GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY?
- How much you value your feet? I paid $70.00 - if they last a year, and I wear them every day, that's $0.19 per day. If they last longer, do the math. And these boots can go a long mile. Considering the quality, performance, and how good they look, these boots are worth every penny.
5. WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO YOU?
- Absolutely! If you are like me and looking for a reliable, comfortable, and stylish work boot from a well established brand, the Cat Footwear Men's Threshold is a great choice.
