Grafters Grinder Twin Gusset Dealer Mens Safety Boots

Used for working within a winery for approximately a month and cleaned regularly after use - I would definitely have known if I had dropped something heavy or spilled corrosive substances on them!As far as I’m aware they have not leaked, been supportive and comfy enough for work with thick socks, but find the condition of the exterior material at present would easily worsen in the long term.If I’d known I would’ve put rubberised underseal all over them!

I was using another brand that lasts about a 9 months so we will see how these fair but overall they seem pretty well made and comfortable. Certainly softer uppers from the outset. Will update when I’ve had them 9 months plus. I’m a delivery driver so they get a lot of use and wear.Update. The inside of the upper seems to have split just behind the toe protector and is digging into my left foot and the crease across the top of the san sections is cracking so have had to go back to my original brand and these only lasted 3.5 months. So have downgraded review stars from 5-3

Bought these boots for my son. They looked hard wearing with great uppers and soles. The steel toe cap he requires for his work at the garden centre. I had to buy a pair of insoles for them as within just two weeks the original insole was fraying. On one of the boots the rear heal support has already started to degrade and you can see the plastic internal backing which makes up the heal of the boot. This has now after just one months use ruined two pairs of brand new heavy duty work boot socks as they have holes in the heal caused by the fraying and disintegrating material which makes up the internal structure. Not as good a quality internally as we would have expected when you see how well the outside looks. I would certainly not recommend these boots due to poor quality. I am already looking for another pair of boots for my son to use after only one month of use!!!!

The price fitted my pocket perfectly, however what I hadn’t bargained for was recieving a pair of boots that looked and felt way above that purchase price. What we have here are a top quality super value hardwearing pair of tough boots that look as if they will last and last. First off the sole is a premium thick cut grip with tread like Pirelli tyre, the sheer look of the dark tan upper is remarkable and features an elasticated side structure which allows for foot movement whilst walking without giving discomfort from the durable upper digging into the shin. The weight in each boot is notable but this is because your buying heavy duty quality. The sole on my size tens are nice and wide offering plenty of foot room and a good firm stance when standing and the extra foot room thus avoids rubbing against the bridge of the foot or the toes. The steel toecaps give excellent protection and the boots are compliant with resistance to acids water oils and alcohols which is exactly what you would expect from boots of this quality. Overall your buying a premier league product at a very good price indeed, and I’ll stick my head out and say I’ll be very surprised if your not extremely impressed with these boots. After 3 days use I’m already looking to buy another pair to keep in reserve for when these finally depart for shoe heaven because I highly doubt whether I’ll still find these boots still available by then, and if they are, then they won’t be at this incredible price. I give these a resounding 10/10 with no reservations.

I bought these boots in Sep 2018. They get light use at weekends and holiday times when I do bits and pieces of DIY/gardening work around the house. Last week when I put them on I thought something felt a bit funny on the sole of them and when I took them off and had a look I couldn't believe what I saw. The sole had split and the steel sole insert/plate was clearly visible. It seems the rubber on the sole splits and peels away to expose the steel plate underneath. These boots have had very light use over 18 months or so and I know you might say "Well what do you expect for £23?" but I thought they'd have lasted longer than that. I've had previous models of Grafter boots which lasted a lot longer. Go to your local hardware/building supplier/shoe shop and pay more for a decent pair of boots especially if you work on a site. Don't waste your money on these..seriously.

Updated: Within a few months of writing the previous review, the soles are cracked on both boots and the front of the sole under the toes has come away from the main boot. The fabric lining the inner boot has degraded and rucked up, causing several blisters despite a 3rd party series of insoles.Considering the brand, I had hoped they'd have lasted a lot longer considering all I'm doing is walking around a shop in them. Won't be purchasing again.Despite being a mens UK6, it's ideal for me as I wear thicker socks for work. The top of the boot around the heel could do with a bit of wearing in, but otherwise they're comfortable with a brilliant level of grip. Perfect for work.

These boots are good but they seem to dig into the bottom of my calf, so much so that I now have a cut and it's only been my first day of wearing them. I'm not the only one to experience this either. I read another review saying they experienced the same thing. I would advise whoever is in charge of designing these boots to possibly think about redesigning them to fix this as it's really not something I would expect to have when buying boots or shoes and some other buyers may be less forgiving in regards to this.

Being 50 years old my feet have been a size 11 for decades but according to the size chart I'm a 12. Oh how I wish I'd got the 11. The size 12 boots were massive even with an extra insole in. With them being a bad fit it didnt take long for the rubbing to cause blisters on my heels and toes. Held out for around 4hrs then went n got my old boots out the bin. That's when I noticed the damage to the so called leather uppers. After only 4hrs I could see the boots starting to peel and crack. Terrible fit, terrible quality. Wouldnt even recommend these for digging the garden.
