Blue Tongue BTCST10.5 Boots , Black

These boots took a week and a half to brake in. I would recommend to wear 2 socks wile braking in it makes it more bearable. After they get broken in they are more conferrable than my daily sneakers, but after 10 hours you might have some fatigue or discomfort but it depends on how you use them I guess (i wear them for 11h and never take a brake from work in a mechanic shop). And during the brake in period you would want to wear some long sock since it will wear in the back or your achilles tendon area.

I ended up buying these Blue Tongue boots after some guys at work recommended these(or Redbacks). The boots are great and very comfortable and I am happy with them so far. Blue Tongue is a sister company of Redback which I knew from visiting the Redback website. What I didn't know until I received the boots is that Redbacks are made 100% in Austrlia where as the Blue Tongue brand is made in China. The Redback's the guys have at work have lasted them for 5+ years so we'll see how these Blue Tongues do.

Very nice work boot for the price. I am a U.S. Navy officer who frequently visits indistrial activities, including ship yards. The Navy stopped making "boondockers" a few years ago and traveling with my steel toe 9" boots is difficult. These 6" chukka style, pull on boots are perfect (light weight) for traveling and wearing with my khaki uniform. They come shined, look good with a uniform, and can be ordered with the composit toe. I may spend a little more in the future for the redback brand made in Australia, but these look good and are well-made. I may even wear them during my off-duty time. They call 'em "Romeo boots" for a reason :).

So these boots fit tight. They are supposed to. But one of these was way tighter than the other. I verified they were marked the same size. I just dealt with it and they eventually wore in. Well after just over 6 months the tighter boot blew out a seam and is now useless. Warranty is only for 180 days. Go figure. I will have to look for an alternative boot.

Good wearing boots but are size small

have worn red backs for many years last year I decided to try the blue tongue , big mistake there , these are not even the same league as the red back boots ,they never fit right, , the composite toe cap felt like it wasn't installed right , don't waste your money with the blue tongue brand either get the red backs or buy another brand

The boots are great and a cheaper alternative to the Redbacks. The tongue does hit your shin and takes some time to break on. Also, could just be that mine are brand new, but they aren't really the shiny leather like in the picture. It's more of a suede that I don't really care for, mainly because I don't know how they will do with water. Just a heads up.

Great light safety boots I work In a shop with several different concrete floors that get oily and the traction is great I do recommend as I would with any boot inserts but otherwise a great boot for the money
