Birkenstock Qo 700, Men's Closed-Toe

Product Information

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. 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. 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 I loved how the toe box still managed to stay comfortably spacious even with the presence of the safety toe cap. The toe box was roomy enough to allow my toes to spread out in a natural way, preventing cramping and the painful feeling that occurs when the metallic toe cap presses into the toes. Details: steel toe (200 joules) with scratch-resistant toe cap; penetration-resistant, metal-free, nonslip, and oil- and petrol-resistant outsole (P, SRC, FO); energy absorption around heel (E); antistatic protection (A)

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 I loved the spacious toe box that accommodated my toes so they were allowed to spread out naturally.They are "water resistant", but not waterproof, which perhaps will be an issue in some cases, depending on the kind of work you are going to do in them.

The material used for the bellows tongue construction, a piece of fabric that is attached between the tongue and the rest of the upper to keep out grit, seems to be of quite poor quality. This is a minor piece of the entire shoe, but I can tell that it is something that is most likely not going to hold up when put into daily use. 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 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. 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.

Size Chart

The QS700 is presented as a modern ankle 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 microfiber (WRU) and offers antistatic protection.
