About this deal

Here at Bstore, we know that the best shopping experience (and life) comes from being fun, ambitious, authentic and responsive, and having the confidence to know your identity and wear it with pride. 'Keeping it Real' is in our DNA, and we challenge ourselves every day to do just that - keep it real. We embrace our Australian heritage, seek to actively appreciate the awesome lifestyle we get to experience in this part of the world, and fit you out with the perfect shoes – for wherever your feet take you. The design of the sole of the shoes are made to look like a goodyear welt (where the sole is stitched to the rest of the shoe), but this is just molded in plastic to look like real stitches. Not a fan. Personally I would much rather prefer an honest design that is not trying to make the construction of the shoes appear to be something different than what it actually is. The footbed had a microfiber lining that offered a soothing kind of softness, preventing blisters from forming even when I walked and moved around continuously for long periods. Unlike other work boots I previously tried that bit into my toes, To me, with the insoles removed, it seems like they are in fact zero drop, or at least very, very, very close to being zero drop.Going through the shoes I ended up with 3 points of criticisms.

A barefoot shoe like the one on the left is the goal. But depending on your work requirements, you many need to make some compromises. Shoe brands have yet to step up to the challenge of truly healthy minimalist work boots that are also safety rated (Want to change that? Vote with your dollars for minimalist footwear and share this message!). In the meantime, I’ve scoured the web for the best alternatives. Here we examine 9 different options that come as close to the ideal as possible, so you can choose what’s best for you. Let’s dig in. Minimalist Work Boots Comparison Table

The QS700 is presented as a modern, ankle-high sneaker with 7-hole lacing and a heel loop. The nonslip, metal-free, and oil- and petrol-resistant outsole provides for energy absorption around the heel and is penetration-resistant. A 200-joule steel toe with a scratch-resistant toe cap protects the forefoot. The upper is made from water-resistant smooth leather (WRU) and offers antistatic protection.

I liked how the curved edge of the footbed worked to protect my foot from falling flat onto the base, preventing uncomfortable fallen arches that may occur with long hours of walking or standing on hard floors.

The QS 700 is a heavy duty lace up boot featuring a removable footbed and microfibre upper which is softer than leather but may still take a few days to soften up. Have you noticed how much happier you feel when you're wearing comfortable shoes? And when you find comfy shoes that actually look great too, well, that's life changing.I haven’t tried these ones firsthand myself, so proceed with caution. And let us know how they work out if you try them! Conclusion

By making feet healthy and happy, we've made our customers very happy. We now have 9 9 Bstore locations and one of Australia's most trusted and established online shoe stores. Now, one year on, the stitching on the steel toe is tearing apart, the little pull tab on the heel has proven useless after only one month when I nearly tore it completely off and, worst of all, the sole on both boots is now nearly completely detached from the rest of the shoe. However, I won’t recommend this boot for extremely wet surroundings because it isn’t built with fully waterproof components.

Optimal Fit In Two Widths

That being said, these are the best option I've been able to find, so I intend on keeping them and hopefully, within a couple of years, some of the barefoot shoe brands are going to make a safety shoe as well, as I'm sure the demand is growing. (I've heard Xeroshoes are looking into making a barefoot safety shoe - fingers crossed :) ). With this single thought, we opened Bstore in 2001. We have made it our mission to find you stylish footwear that feels awesome to wear. It has meant scouring the world to discover the best brands in each category that deliver on our strict criteria of delivering style, genuine comfort and the perfect fit for healthy, happy feet. After all, our whole purpose is 'to make feet smile'! I loved the spacious toe box that accommodated my toes so they were allowed to spread out naturally.
