Caterpillar Gravel 6" S3, Men's Ankle Boots

These boots were created by mighty Thor! Forged with his hammer and lightning bolts from the heavens, given to man to wear on the battlefield!As a result of mighty Thor making these for his troops, these boots are MENS BOOTS!None of this "unisex" garbage for the garbage polluted sewer minds of the over medicated lemming masses.Ok, a little over the top there, but these are awesome boots without question and i believe that even the mighty Thor would've been proud of them, and certainly Odin would've liked them since they'd have made smashing ice giants a little easier.These are solid, well built rugged boots, and they feel really good to wear and snug. I feel sure footed given the grips, but even looking at them from the picture I'm sure you could already tell that.I have been buying Caterpillar for around 20 years, but then bought a couple of pairs of timberlands over the last 5 years.Now i mention this because i want to highlight what the difference is: Caterpillar boots i still have from 1997/98 could still be worn (if my feet were still size 9) they never fell apart, they never got tatty, the soles never split or fell apart otherwise, but the two pairs of timberlands (stupid "fashion" trash) didn't last long at all. The inside heel wore right into the wood, so to speek, and naturally this wears your skin right down to the wood even with thick socks on, the inside heel of the timberland boots just grates on your skin badly, but those old Caterpillar boots are still fine on the inside heel section.Timberlands also cost quite a bit more than Caterpillar does, the reason for that is purely down to their brand being hyped up so much and nothing to do with build quality at all, but Caterpillar just keeps going.I'm never buying any other boots again. I just fell into that stupid 'buy what your friends buy cos it's the trendy and cool thing to do'.So when it comes to buying boots, take it from a company that knows how to build tough and rugged things, they make heavy duty Earth moving machines after all, so they know what it takes, plus they're an American company, so it's good to support our closest and longest allies, our brothers and sisters in the USA.As an added bonus, the money saved by not buying stupid "fashion" trash timberlands, i can buy good thick socks, like these ones:3 Pairs Mens Jeep Terrain Walking Hiking Work Socks Black 6-11 uk and my feet and 10 toes are thankful.I bought those 'Jeep' socks the instant i noticed they were being sold on Amazon as I've had them in the past. You'll notice the padding on the heels of those socks, yes, it's good, it's all good, go ahead and treat your heels and 10 little toes to them, they'll thank you for it. You all know what it's like to have big blisters and cuts on your heels and you know how crippling that is, so save yourself that trouble with those socks!So no more fashion trash 'timbies' - back to basics with Caterpillar boots as i know they're built well and made to last, and i don't care about being 'trendy and cool' in the eyes of the mindless giddy fashion lemmings. I'm me, i wear Caterpillar boots, i walk on rough ground and i don't care to avoid puddles because i know these Caterpillar boots will keep my feet dry and warm and safe, and I'm sticking with the Caterpillar brand from now on as I've done since the 90's.

Been wearing for residential plumbing and light construction 5 days a week for nearly a month. They are great. Very solid construction. Fit is a little large and wide which is good for those with wide feet like myself. If you are a half size with regular width feet, may want to get the smaller size. Very comfortable including when bending down. Highly waterproof for this type of boot. Only downside is that they are heavy but this is expected with such a solid boot. They look like they could last at least a year which is what I was looking for and is rare for work boots. Only time will tell. Don't let the price put you off. These are worth it.

They are nice boots comfortable and hatd wearing only lasted 12 months and the sole started coming away from the boot. Did buy another pair hopefully it was just a dodgy pair

Nice chunky boots , good sole protection and anti slip , comfortable to wear all day , little on the heavy side but feels better quality. I paid £117 seems to come down in price lately. Gutted. Had the a few weeks now so see how the wear and tear will go over time , they have had a beating already with plastering and concrete so so far so good.

I have had the cat diagnostic boots for about 4 years in a UK size 9 and they were a little to big for me but laced up tight they fitted OK, I have brought the gravel 6 s3 in the same size 9, and they were quite a bit to big , they are wider at the front and I had to return them for a smaller pair(8) which fit perfect ..amazing boots ,amazing looks built tough they are. Worn for two days now and very very happy with them 10 out of 10 .

I've had three pairs of these boots, they are very, very tough, may be not the best looking boot but very well made, I work in an engineering environment with a slippery oily floor these grip through regardless (after skidding around with Dewalts). They last for ages, Not the cheapest boots in the world but probably the best value.

Bought these at the end of May 2018, wanted a good pair of working boots, did not mind paying a bit extra. Hoped to get a year or 2 out of them,However they are extremely heavy boot, laces broke within 3 weeks, heel areas worn down within a short time frame. Also a split across the sole, that let in water. My work collage bought a pair the same time, at a 1/3 of the price of mine, and his has worn better than mine, I've binned mine now, should have taken on board the previous review, the only good thing about the boots was the leather, which was a high quality, 10 months for a pair of boots at this price, anyone considering buying these, avoid like the plague,

Superb work boots, not too bad to break in , these are premium quality and will last many years I’m sure, bit pricey but worth every penny, highly recommended buying them.

So far so good.

Ich habe sie mir aus Neugier bestellt da ich garnicht wusste das CAT auch Schuhe herstellt. Leider gab es zu dem Zeitpunkt keine 44 bzw 45 (eigentliche schuhgröße) daher sondern nur 46 daher habe ich mal die 42 ausprobiert und War erstaunt das diese passten auch wenn sie ein kleines bisschen zu eng warn also definitiv eine Nummer kleiner kaufen als seine normale Schuhgröße.Ich War aber dennoch sehr erfreut über die sehr hochwertige Verarbeitung und die tolle Sole die eher an einen Winterreifen erinnert als an eine Schuhsohle. Es scheint tatsächlich Entwicklung darin geflossen zu sein was ich super finde. Man hat definitiv nicht das gefühlt damit irgendwo aus zu rutschen. Generell sind die Schuhe auch unglaublich bequem zum gehen und man hat nen wirklich perfekten Halt in den Schuhen (auch in den jetzt bestellten 43ern)Ausserdem ist der hintere teil des Schuh sehr stabil was das rein schlüpfen sehr viel einfacher macht als bei normalen Stiefeln.Generell sind sie echt schnell an und ausgezogen.Wer Stiefel sucht die den Fuß auch stabil halten zum beispiel wenn man irgendwo arbeitet wo man einfach umknickt der ist hier auch absolut richtig.Durch und durch tolle Stiefel egal ob man sie zum arbeiten braucht oder nicht. Alleine das schnelle an und aussehen rechtfertigt es für mich die anderen vor zu ziehen.Einzige Mankos auf die man sich einstellen muss bzw wissen muss:Natürlich sind die schwerer als normale Stiefel (mich stört es nicht aber gesagt sein sollte es mal)Ausserdem muss man für sich herausfinden ob sie zum Autofahren geeignet sind es sind eben recht große Schuhe und da muss man gucken ob der Platz in seinem Auto ausreicht.

Very good 👍🏼

J'ai analysé les options pour une paire de bottes pendant quelques mois et j'ai décidé, en fonction de la possibilité de pouvoir mettre de nouvelles semelles si nécessaire, j'ai consulté un cordonnier qui m'a recommandé CAT car il est plus probable qu'il puisse obtenir les semelles en cas de réparation, ce qui m'a également plu, c'est que ce modèle contient des instructions et des recommandations d'utilisation et mentionne que "la durée de vie des bottes dépendra entièrement du soin et de l'utilisation que nous leur apportons" Je travaille dans l'entretien d'espaces verts et de jardinage, je marche ou debout la plupart du temps et ils sont très confortables, je leur donne 8/10 pour l'étanchéité car l'eau peut s'infiltrer à un moment donné après plusieurs heures de pluie (cependant pour quelque chose de complètement étanche il y a autres produits pour ça), pour une utilisation à froid 10/10, semelle antidérapante 10/10 (elle arrive aussi cuite ce qui correspond aux préconisations du cordonnier pour les réparations futures), sécurité cheville 10/10. Je joins des photos du premier jour d'utilisation (première photo) et une autre après 2 semaines d'utilisation quotidienne (deuxième photo).Je suis désolé pour le long commentaire mais j'espère mentionner les points que je n'ai pas trouvé dans d'autres commentaires lors de l'analyse de mon achat.
