Nothing short of a pool of water going above the mouth of the boot will get the inside of this shoe wet. Its sole lifts you above the ground noticeably but slight. No-slip sole. Protects against cold in addition to wetness when worn with the right socks.

A new boot is very, very black, much darker than in the picture. It will however fade to that color after prolonged exposure to the elements, but still a good looking boot. It's not super heavy even with the steeltoe cap version. Very sturdy when worn. Expect slight damage in the form of one or two dislodged shoelace hole bearings if you're rough, but it can take some good damage and not be altered.

Highly recommend it. It's made of rubber and so is vegan, which is why I bought it, in addition to being well designed. Nobody but me is on this, so you'll be an /fa/ cool kid. You're going to need to buy steeltoe socks along with it, and I recommend Thorlo steeltoe work boot socks.

>Do /fa/ steel toe boots exist?
Yes; and for the low price of $140 USD. You can get them in black or a light brown, I think it was.

You're in luck. I'm the guy who's been shilling them whenever the subject comes up. I have owned my pair for I think 3 months now, maybe 4.

They're excellent, simply put. I couldn't recommend them more, and I suggest you get some without reservation.

The boot is primarily made out of rubber aside from the lining and such. If you compare the look of these to a pair of regular leather boots, they look miles better. You will never look at leather boots again without so much of a hint of disgust at their lame gaudiness, such is the understated coolness of this boot. It is much blacker new than it appears in this photo, but it seems that the color of mine has weathered more to the one in the pic after all this time. They still look good. As you can see in your pic, there are these ornamental lines decorating the boot, as well as the Bogs logo on the outside of the foot; on the inside (that is, the other side of the boot here) is a small size chart or something, it's whatever.

I've worn them in Portland, OR, through downpour rain with big puddles as well as freakish snow storms with a foot of snow. My feet have been kept both dry and warm. The boot platforms you a couple inches or so from the ground and its top is pretty high too. I don't give a shit about terrain anymore. Muddy grass, bumpy gravel, deep puddles--fuck all of them, I walk straight through with no discomfort. I did get the inside wet once when I underestimated a puddle's depth, but it was dried up over night. You can see my boot is dirty here, but it's rainy in Portland so this boot cleans itself. It is a work boot--no slip, steel toe. They aren't heavy at all. Very sturdy. I sometimes kick poles with the toe for fun.
