What is Reddit's opinion of Eastland Men's High Fidelity Lace-Up Boot?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Looking to pick up a first pair of work boots. I have done some research and think that the Eastland High Fidelity boots would be a good choice to break me into the work boot scene. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they a good investment for that amount of money?

I finally found some boots that were almost exactly what I was looking for. Thing is I couldn't find them in my size (7.5). Does anyone know of any good alternatives with a similar style and price point? Any help is appreciated, thanks

My only experience with Eastland brand are these cap-toe boots. They were not even worth the $50 I spent on them. After only a few light wears, they were extremely creased. Given the cheap leather, I was expecting creasing, but these are almost unsightly. I own both Thorogoods and Chippewas that I have beat the hell out of and they both look great still. I would recommend saving up al ittle more and getting either of the aforementioned boots.

I have them in tan.

Maybe the Eastland High Fidelity instead?
