Review on πŸ‘ž Uncompromising Performance: Georgia Giant Romeo GR500 Soggy Men's Shoes by Terry Keown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Be sure to buy one size smaller than usual. Very convenient! However, it creaks

The boots are so comfortable that it is hard to believe that they are work boots. They are more comfortable than my running shoes and have the added benefit of being waterproof and durable. The heel holds up very well and the rest of the insole provides excellent cushioning. Even after 10 hours on my feet a day, my feet feel as good in these boots as they do in New Balance sneakers. As other reviewers point out, the boots tend to get big. I have a slightly wide foot and wear size 10-10.5 depending on the manufacturer. My favorite size 10.5 New Balance shoes because of their slightly wider and roomier midfoot design. I ordered these boots in a size 10 as I find most shoes and boots are too narrow for my feet. While the width was perfect, the boot was slightly longer and made me 'stomp' as I walked. I reset them to 9.5 wide and they fit perfectly. I found no problem getting my feet into the boots. After reading some of these reviews I was a bit apprehensive about putting them on my feet especially as I had ordered a shoe smaller than what I normally wear. At first the opening seemed very tight and small but once I got my toes in these boots weren't that difficult to put on. The loops on both the tongue and heel of the boot really help and my feet slipped easily with a little pressure. Without the laces, the fit is expected to be a little loose, but the boots hold up quite well. It takes some effort to take off the boot, so you don't have to worry about the boots coming off your feet when running or walking. The weakness around the ankle is a minor downside, but it's worth the effort as these boots are easy to slip on and off without resorting to laces. The impregnation works well. The leather does stain, but if you wear them to work like I do, it doesn't matter. The boots break in quickly and after a few hours of first wearing they feel like a pair of old boots I've had for years. The only complaint I have is that the soles of the boots creak terribly on linoleum floors. Try her. Just don't forget to downsize a bit.
