The CAT boots are my daily wear, but on a farm at least there's still a need for a proper pair of rubber muck boots.

Protective Toe

CAT statest that the boot's composite toe is "40% lighter than a steel toe but doesn't compromise on the impact and compression protection." They're not cut-rated, so I'm taking my chances with the chainsaw, but I don't have to worry about dropping stuff on my toes.

Reflective Strips

I didn't know these were there, but on a nighttime walk my wife was behind me and noticed her flashlight produced a bright reflection off of these small strips on the back of the shoe. 

Quality Control Issue?

Curiously, the rear pull loop, which works fine in the pair I kept, was actually sewed shut on one of the smaller-size boots I'd ordered. 

Easy enough to fix with an X-Acto, but it does point to a potential quality control issue at CAT's factory, or at least a lapse in inspection. 

Muck Boots

The CAT boots are my daily wear, but on a farm at least there's still a need for a proper pair of rubber muck boots. 

I wear these in deep mud and inside the chicken coops and horse pasture and don't care that they get covered in feces. I paid $14 for these at the local Walmart.
