Grafters, M181, Men's Leather Uniform Shoe with PVC/Nitrile Sole (Black Waxy Leather, Numeric_8)

Bought for my son, despite trying his best to destroy them, he hasn’t been able to, very good quality leather shoes

The shoe fits me true to size and seems solid and likely to wear well. Be warned the uppers need some wearing in. I found that wearing thick socks avoided any rubbing on my feet. Am hopeful these will last better than my last purchase which only made 5 months af daily use.

Nice shoe delivered on time

Good shoes for work. They need wearing to soften them up like most shoes but are quite comfy.

Good value but useless as too painful to wear

Light and comfortable , hardly any break in time , had a pair of these many years ago they're reliable in all weather conditions . Plenty of room for tootsies , the extra padding round the ankle takes bit of breaking but you can soften it by gentle bashing .

I have very wide feet and noted that others have said that these are wider than usual - across the ball of the foot they're fine, but it felt like the toe box was a little snug, although after a day of wearing them they seemed to break in fairly easily.They are lightweight in the sameway as the Doc Martens of old with the leather feeling the same (the new Docs are uncomfortably narrow so I've given up with them).There's a nice layer of padding at the heel, go I haven't put gel pads in (yet) just to see how they go.Overall I'm very happy with them as work shoes and the only reason they lost a star is that I'd like the toebox a little wider - if possible I'd give them a 4.5 out of five

Back in the old world you bought a pair of DM's because they would last, they were cheap and they looked cool. Now in the new world they cost over 100 pounds and are not what they once were. These excellent shoes hark back to those 'good old days' and l think are even better quality. Under 40 pounds. Well worth it, and look smart. Recommend ed.
