The leather seems durable, and I like the slip-resistant soles. They’re a bit stiff at first, but become more comfortable over time. A reliable choice for safety footwear.

The Birks Defender boots are okay, but I expected more for the price. They’re adequately protective and the steel toe is solid. However, I find them a bit heavy and the breathability could be better – my feet get pretty sweaty during long shifts. They’re decent, but there’s room for improvement.
