Great for working in a warehouse. Very protective. I can kick heavy stuff without hurting my foot if I curl my toes slightly. I've used my shoes to avoid pinching my fingers when setting down heavy objects, to get pallet jacks unstuck from pallets by holding the pallet in place with my foot, and to get old rusty latches on delivery vans open by kicking the lever. I know from experience that the steel toe can support over 1,000lbs, just don't tell my boss how I figured that out....
I'm not sure how protective they are when it comes to stepping on nails, but I'll let update my review if I find out! (Stepping on nails sticking up out of boards isn't exactly a rare occurrence in warehouse and construction environments)
They're surprisingly water resistant. Stepping in puddles, walking through snow, and even pressure-washing vehicles doesn't get my feet wet. They're quite grippy, and the tread on the soles doesn't seem to wear down. While wearing these, I've only ever slipped on ice and soapy concrete, never on wet wood, concrete floor, metal, etc.
They're certainly not comfort shoes, but they're comfortable enough for work. Better than broken toes! They're not light, but they don't feel particularly heavy. I'm still fairly agile while wearing them, they're not great for running, but I can run in them comfortably and without tripping. It's quite comfortable to rest one foot on top of the other while sitting, since the shoes don't bend too easily like sneakers do.
They're very durable, aside from the memory foam insoles, which develop holes pretty quickly, although you really can't feel the holes. In my experience, they last about 8 months, which is decent, considering they're relatively inexpensive and stand up to a lot. My first pair had a bit of peeling rubber on the front and the holes in the insoles had gotten quite deep, so I replaced them, although they're still wearable as a backup option. I just bought replacements for my second pair, which are actually in pretty good shape other than the inside of the left shoe wearing down, causing the hard protective layer inside to rub on my heel and cause minor discomfort while walking.
The sizing seems accurate. I have fairly wide feet, and wear size 13 in most brands, sometimes 14 (eg, Under Armour). The size 13-Wide fits perfectly, with just enough room for my toes to not be squished together like they are in most shoes.
9/10, would recommend these for anyone with the risk of injuring their feet at work.
