I usually wear another brand of boots, but with all the talk about Brunt I had to give them a try! Being on my feet 12+ hours a day, 3 weeks at a time, I needed a comfortable boot and the Perkins fits my feet very well. Very little break-in is required and they are quite light for a heavy duty boot. In addition, I’m finding them to be plenty warm enough for most days here on the north slope of Alaska. The rubber toe cap is welcome and the sole has performed well on all surfaces including ice and snow and a future upgrade to an Arctic Ice Vibram sole would make these a near perfect boot!
