Hi I purchased a pair of 8” Hoffman classics wide, and I have to say these are the comfiest work boots I’ve owned. I like how they feel like a hiking boot with good ankle support and lots of grip with the aggressive Vibram sole. Nice to see that they come with a quality insole, not a floppy piece of foam.  I was getting a bit of lace bite on the top of my foot wear the boot folds when I bent forward, but that went away after a week. Thanks for making a quality product!

I've used my Redwing loggers for climbing and ariat pull ons for walking around in. I can say that these Hoffman classics surpassed the comfort of both other boots for on and off the wood. My ariats needed new insoles for my plantar fasciitis and still didn't help. They also made me roll my ankles too much. My redwing loggers are also prone to ankle rolls and were only good for climbing in. They were painful to walk in. Once I've got the classics, I immediately fell in love. My plantar fasciitis pain went away immediately when I put the boot on. The arch support is fantastic. The insole was perfect and did not need to be replaced. I only needed 2 days to break them in. They were great the first day, but much better on the third. I couldn't roll my ankle in these if I tried. The ankle support is the best, even in rough terrain.

I bought my Hoffman Classics after Micheal in 2018. Since then I have worn these just at least 4-6 days a week even after taking a administration job with our utility. They are that comfortable. also they are my go to boot when heading to the woods for hunting and hiking. that brings me to why I am leave this review. This past Saturday after hunting and heading back to the truck i stepped in a pine needle covered stump hole about 12" in diameter and went in to my knee. Obviously i did the most ungraceful face plant you ever did see with my 27# treestand on my back and rifle in hand. Just knew ankle was shot but thanks to the unbelievable support your boots gave my ankle is not even sore and no worse for it. Now knee shoulder and back is another thing but i know if I had been wearing any other boot i own I would probably been in a cast and would have had to have help getting out of the woods that night. So thank you!!! By the way When are you going to build a snake boot for us southeast boys? 16"-17" with the Explorer footbed and snakeproof cloth and your waterproofing. I will be waiting!!
