Dunlop 86775 Chesapeake

I ordered 2 pair, size 13 and size 14, hoping one would fit. I'm keeping one pair and returning the other because of a defect in the inside, side of the sole. There is a cavity with a fairly sharp edge that is uncomfortable. I'm guessing it was an air bubble when the sole was cast. The boots are well made, comfortable, sturdy and good quality. These are heavy duty boots. I like the finger size pull holes on each side at the top and a slightly protruding bump on the back of the heal to aid in pushing them off with the toe of your other foot. Dunlop invented and made the first inflatable rubber tires in 1888, so these boots have a great history.

Fit nicely and are some of the best rubber boots I've owned.

Great steel toed rubber boots Just what i needed for arrowhead hunt the muddy fields I wear a 9 1/2 and ordered the size 9 Fit perfectly

First order was huge but I returned them and now I got the most comfortable pair of rain boots I've ever owned. Functional eazy to put on. Arch supported a nice surprise. I wear them all day. and really appreciate the way there made. I truly love my boots. ( Little toxic smelling at first.) I truly think you're going to like these too... 👍🏼

Great quality water proof, heavy made boots, great value!

I bought Dunlop's because I needed to protect myself from post-hurricane flood waters in Florida. I purchased one size bigger than my foot, as it's recommended that you wear a couple of socks on each foot for added cushioning. The soles of these boots do not disappoint! They can take roofing nails with ease (oft the bane of lawns everywhere) and keep other metals (like aluminum studs and sheetrock edging) from cutting your calf muscles. They take a while to learn because they are so heavy that you need to adjust your stride. Once you understand that you need to go slow (recommended in flood waters, anyway), you will understand how to use them. In water, they do move better. Just aside: My cats discovered them and immediately used them as a bed and claw sharpeners. Not a scratch. Cat claws are no match for the tire-grade rubber! I am very pleased with my purchase, and will use these boots for decades to come. I feel safer knowing that they are there in case of an emergency. Well worth the cost. The best boots on the market.

Somewhat difficult to slip on and off. I guess relatively comfortable and lightweight for the price. I’ve had them about six weeks and one of them already has a split in the rubber behind the steel toe that allows water to get in. I only wear them about 30 minutes a day to walk my dogs on the land, nothing crazy. I ordered the steel toe because they were slightly cheaper and would arrive sooner… maybe the ones without the steel toe wouldn’t have split…

This review is for the DUNLOP Chesapeake Rubber Boots, Steel Toed. The boots are a good quality made from a one piece mold. The pull holes are reinforced so there should be no concerns about them tearing at the stress locations. I wore steel toed work boots for several years, these are reasonably comfortable, although there could be some padding at the toe area, even with a proper fit, the steel toe can become uncomfortable. I purchased the boots for the rare occasion when I may have to go out in the rain to adjust pumps, which doesn't take a lot of time. If I had to wear them for a full shift, I don't think they would be suitable. For short amounts of time, they are ok. The boots slip on easily, the arch support is minimal but functions ok for a one piece molded boot. There is a rubbery smell to them, I don't think it will last and it isn't overwhelming if it does. If you're looking for something to wear for a short time, perhaps an hour or two, no problem, beyond that they will get uncomfortable. The boots seems to run large, I wear a size 10, and that was to big, my foot would slide back and forth. So I exchanged them for a size 9, they fit better and the way a boot should. If there were more padding in the toe area, I'd give these boots a 5 out of 5 star. They are lightweight and at a very reasonable price point.
