Steel Blue USA Reviews 

Some yrs ago I wrote a review on how the soles fall apart and it seems its still happening. This company needs to get its act together and review its product manufacturing methods... obviously it just doesn't care as long as suckers keep buying...take a look at these reviews in product review website!

Didn’t even last a year which is not good enough in my opinion as much cheaper boots have lasted longer than this. Customer services aren’t responding to my emails, I expect much more from a company as big and expensive as this !

worn 6 times. comfy but soles fell apart.Hydrolysis .

I received no reply from this person or from the company.
DONT buy this brand

These boots are made to last. I am a Heavy Equipment Operator. I bought these boots 3 years ago. They have been beat to the ends of the earth. They still have life left in them. I am happy if my boots last 1 year, let alone 3.

Five stars all the way! These Steel Blue USA work boots have truly exceeded my expectations. From day one, they've been extremely comfortable, allowing me to work long hours on my feet. I have had multiple pairs of steel toed work boots, but none have felt so well right out of the box. Additionally, the zipper feature is a game-changer, offering a swift on and off option, when needed. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you Steel Blue

These boots are the most comfortable steel toe I've ever worn. No one can believe they are safety boots. I would definitely buy again and I have friends looking to order also. I highly recommend!

For years i was a Caterpillar Indiana Boot fan, then they came out with the 2.0 version .... real BAD Boot!

For the last 12 years STEEL BLUE or nothing! I work for Big Brown delivering boxes, on my feet all day!

SO please if somebody is reading this leave the Argyle Boots the way they are ! No need to change a thing or make a 2.o version!
Thank you!

Bought my first pair the ladies southern cross zip in purple and I love them! I want them in every color! Perfect fit very comfortable! I am on my feet sometimes 10 hours a day at work in a refrigerated warehouse! Best boots ever

The boots are excellent and super comfortable. I would recommend these boots for industry and any occasion.

Love the fact they are made for women for one, but it’s hard to find decent boots with metguard for women so these are great! Stylish and comfortable, definitely worth the money as you can see and feel quality.

Serving in the Marine Corps can be tough on your feet. After struggling with plantar fasciitis for years, I found the ultimate solution at Iron Horse Supply in Odessa, TX. These Steel Blue boots are a game-changer, providing the perfect balance between support, cushioning, and flexibility—key for managing plantar fasciitis.

If you're facing similar foot challenges or simply seeking exceptional comfort and support, Iron Horse Supply boots are a true investment in your mobility and well-being. Trust me, your feet will thank you. Thank you Iron Horse! Experience the difference for yourself and step into a world of comfort.

Comfortable high-quality boot. The metatarsal boot is puncture-resistant and has extra protection on the top of the foot. Heavy-duty soles are great for walking on gravel. 10/10 highly recommend

I have had my boots (Ladies' Black Hobarts Steel and Soft Toe) for 2 years now and LOOOOOOOVE them. They are still as comfortable as when I first got them. I really like that I can change out the insole and keep moving.

Thank you for making such a comfortable boot.

This my 2nd pair off 951 boots. Exceptional comfort and durability, I walk all night and in water alot, these boots hold up better than any others. You knocked these out of the park. You have busy for many years to come.

Thank you steel blue

I'm satisfied with my new pair boots they fit good and very comfortable

Great boots they feel great and the zipper feature is useful. Quality design and the comfort level is outstanding.

I bought a pair 2 years ago, wear them every day in construction based work. Absolutely the most comfy pair I’ve ever owned! Love the color options! I still feel like a woman in my pink boots not just one of the guys! 😊

Most comfortable boots /shoes I ever had in my life. Out of the box they fit like have been wearing for six months. Keep up the great work to make available forever.

Boots fallen apart after long storage purchased in 2008


A chemical reaction called Hydrolysis has occurred which happens due to the age of the boots generally 7+ years old, being unworn and lengthy storage conditions, basically the chemicals used in the soling which provides the underfoot comfort can breakdown and deteriorate when unworn and stored for a long time.



Thanking you in advance.

Following my initial review, Steel Blue have contacted me and graciously offered to replace the boots.

They explained that the breakdown of the rubber sole was attributed to the way I had stored the boots.

I have really appreciated their swift response and am eager to try out the new pair, anticipating a more satisfactory experience. Thank you to Courtney and Dorian for addressing the issue promptly.

Fantastic customer service.
